At the FSF general meeting today, Richard Stallman announced that the third discussion draft of GPL version 3 will be released on Wednesday and will be open for public comment. This will be moved briskly into a last-call version, and they hope to close in early June. This version has an additional paragraph that addresses anyone who tries to do what Microsoft is currently doing in the Novell-Microsoft agreement. The language to address anyone who tries to do what Novell is doing is still being constructed, Eben Moglen commented to me that Richard has rejected the latest and best proposal for Novell-role language and that they will formulate new language and try again.

CRN said Saturday (with uncertainty), but at least it's finally here. Your assessment of the draft---once it's released---would be appreciated.

This is great news.

Stallman will give giving a talk on GPLv3 on April 1st in Brussels. We'll be recording it, and if all goes well, I'll make a transcript (like the previous transcripts).
