The Free Software Foundation is moving forward on the GPL 3.0, a pretty major event for the free software community. The process is scheduled to take about 12 months, but the first draft was released on Monday. We wrote up an analysis of the first draft and the changes. All in all, nothing really shocking in this draft, and it doesn't look very drastic.
With any luck, it should be relatively easy to get buy-in from most of the interested parties. 2006 should be an interesting year...
