FSF's Brett Smith Answers Your GPLv3 Questions
We have the answers from FSF Licensing Engineer Brett Smith to the questions you posed regarding the GPLv3. Of course, if you have more questions after reading his answers, fire away.
So, I'll turn this page over now to Brett Smith:
***********************************
Before I start with the questions, I'd like to take a quick moment to thank PJ for helping to organize this, and the many people who submitted their thoughts. The FSF Compliance Lab deals with the GNU licenses in many different ways—we investigate violations, help people come into compliance, and educate users and developers about their terms. Hearing your thoughts on GPLv3 has helped me understand what needs to be done as we finalize the license.
If you'd like to learn more about the Compliance Lab, please stop by our web site. A team of volunteers actually help me answer questions like this all the time; if you think you'd be interested in pitching in, don't hesitate to drop us a line. You can also support our work by joining the FSF.
A lot of your comments seemed to be suggestions for the draft itself, rather than questions per se. I do appreciate those, and while I would have loved to provide some sort of response to each of them, I'm afraid I simply don't have the time. Please do submit those to our comments page—we do read and consider everything there, and the feedback will help inform the last call draft we publish next.
