Apache Foundation Co-Founder Likes GPLv3 

,----[ Quote ]
| "This what Apache has long wanted because we do want them

| didn't like even considering the prospect of GPL-only 
| re-implementations of our works just for compatibility's 
| sake." GLPv3, he added, "is good news, from my perspective."

Alan Cox Interview

,----[ Quote ]
| Personally I think it's a bad idea and that Novell are going to 
| get stung by the GPLv3, and rightfully so. The license is designed 
| to keep the software free, if it fails to do this then it needs 
| fixing, so GPLv3 hopefully will fix this flaw.
