Do You Have Questions You'd Like to Ask FSF About GPLv3?
Well, we've had some time to think about the new draft of GPLv3, and many of us have some questions. There is a new GPLv3 draft 3 FAQ that answers some questions that have already come up, like what do the brackets mean in the draft (that they are possible inclusions, but not certain - more on that in a minute).
But here's something even better. Brett Smith, Licensing Compliance Engineer for the FSF, invites your questions. Anything you'd like to know, you can ask. That way, we can avoid spinning our wheels and get certain answers to any questions we may have.
I'll leave the questions period open for a week and so I'll keep bumping this article up to the top of the line for seven days, and during that period you can keep adding questions or comments also. By that I mean that if you see a problem with the wording, or a loophole, please bring it up. Also, if you really dislike something in this draft or have a better idea, now is the time to raise the issue. This is still just a draft.
Keep in mind that all the corporate players have been putting their wants on the table, which you can discern from the rationale document. If you wish the license to reflect your needs and preferences as well, you need to express them, so that the license reflects the wishes all the members of the community. Or forever hold your peace.
Just kidding. Like *that* would ever happen.
At the end of the week, he'll provide answers.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
