I believe the essential beauty of this community is that we cannot be governed by software licenses alone. If we do not like the language of a license, we are by no means bound to employ it. So, if GPLv3 is 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. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
