I read a little bit of the new license, and restrictive though it may |
| 2 |
be and also strange for a pillar of the open source community to |
| 3 |
suddenly change is directive so drastically, I am still comforted. I |
| 4 |
believe the essential beauty of this community is that we cannot be |
| 5 |
governed by software licenses alone. If we do not like the language |
| 6 |
of a license, we are by no means bound to employ it. So, if GPLv3 is |
| 7 |
as terrible as some say it is, then other people will not use it. |

The true judge of GPLv3's merit will be its adoption. |
