If the information in that speech is correct, I think GPL V3 is not bad (even though the anti-DRM and anti-software-patent clauses have not been challenged and held in courts), espicailly for Desktop Software. RMS also mentioned GPL is not a good license for Documentation, so that GNU Free Documentation License is created for that. Maybe other software types need some other licenses. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
