GPL v3 draft released
The Free Software Foundation has released the first draft of a new version of the GNU General Public Licence (GPL), reports PC Pro.
This version is the first overhaul of the licence under which the GNU Linux platform has been distributed for over 15 years.
The new version is aimed at two key issues: software patents and digital rights management.
The draft includes new language designed to make the licence less dependent on US legal concepts and terms, as well as a provision relating to the use of GPL software for Web services.
