Linus on GPL3 In Forbes 316

Posted by Zonk on Friday March 10, 2006 @02:28PM from the rehashing-bad-blood dept.

musicon writes "In an interview via e-mail with Forbes, Torvalds discusses GPLv3, digital rights management and sharks with laser beams. From the article: 'I'm sure changes will be made [to GPLv3]. The fact that the FSF and I have some fundamentally different views of what the GPLv2 was all about makes me worry that we won't find a good agreement on the next version.'"

Due to the public outcry GPLv4 will no longer include sharks with laser beams. They have been replaced with Sea Bass. Extremely ill-tempered sea bass.

I pity the fool... who doesn't provide source with the binaries.

mad_scientist is completely compatible with the GPL, provided you load the wild_haircut and mismatched_socks modules first.
