Torvalds: No GPL 3 for Linux - tech
(hx) 01:18 AM CET - Jan,27 2006 - Post a comment
Linus Torvalds said Wednesday that he won't convert Linux to version 3 of the General Public License, as he objects to digital rights management provisions in the proposed update. Torvalds founded the Linux project in 1991, the same year the current GPL version 2 was released, and is still its leader.
Torvalds specifically objected to one new provision in the GPL 3 draft that opposes digital rights management, which is technology that uses encryption to control the use of content and running of software. "I think it's insane to require people to make their private signing keys available, for example. I wouldn't do it," he said.
OK, so it appears Linus has decided that Linux will not be converted over to GPL v3. In my opinion, converting offers basically no major advantage anyway. GPL v2 is just as good as GPL v3 for the purposes of Linux. There doesn't seem to be any kind of compelling advantage... What's your opinion?
