GPL version 3 draft released
Free Software Foundation GPLv3 draft
The first draft of version 3 of the General Public License was released today. I haven’t read through the whole thing, or compared it to earlier versions, but DID notice this interesting little section on DRM:
Some countries have adopted laws prohibiting software that enables users to escape from Digital Restrictions Management. DRM is fundamentally incompatible with the purpose of the GPL, which is to protect users’ freedom; therefore, the GPL ensures that the software it covers will neither be subject to, nor subject other works to, digital restrictions from which escape is forbidden.
