Why do you say more GPLv3 is more "viral" than GPLv2 ? For me they are very close the only changes are : - the no DRM clause - the no patent clause - the "extension" clause (that allow to derive with compatible sub licencing) All this is aligned with the "spririt" of GPLv2 and are only technical changes (except for DRM which is a new "topic"). But perhaps I missed something (I am actually lost with lawyer language :). Anyway, as I did not contribute, I have no "right" to particpate to this choice. But, I don't know if I have the right to GPLv3 my own code based on soya bindings, if soya stay in GPLv2 ??? Anyone knows ?
