One Month On, GPLv3 Adoption Going Very Smoothly
I recently read the discussion on the GCC development mailing list related to GCC's transition to GPLv3. Despite generating 172 emails, the transition was quite smooth actually.
I decided to read about GCC's transition because I wanted to investigate a (false) claim which Slashdot featured on their front page. Slashdot's story, which I now know to be complete rubbish, claimed that key GCC developers were talking about forking GCC.
Actually, they mostly discussed version numbers, as well as the copyright status of code written by scripts, and of World War II photographs, etc.
