One Month On, GPLv3 Adoption Going Very Smoothly

,----[ Quote ]
| So, in review, Samba's GPLv3 transition went well. Then SugarCRM ditched 
| their custom licence and moved to GPLv3, which, as I said, is one way in 
| which GPLv3 tackles licence proliferation. And now GCC and 286 other projects 
| have made the transition, according to Palamida's GPLv3 counter. It seems 
| that GPLv3 transitions are going quite smoothly.    
| 
| In fact, it seems that many commentators have been surprised (and some have 
| surely been disappointed) by the lack of major problems. There is a vacuum of 
| bad press, which is why Slashdot has resorted to printing hallucinations, and 
| InformationWeek can only publish bad news by inventing it. All in all, I'd 
| chalk that down as a success for the eighteen months of hard work that was 
| the GPLv3 consultation process.
