In all seriousness, I'm not sure they could switch it to GPLv3. I think that Apple's firmware signing might run afoul of the anti-tivoization clause and prevent them from shipping Swift on Macs. IANAL
- avar 11y agoApple seems to think so, which is why all their GNU tools are frozen at their GPLv2 versions.
- mkesper 11y agoApache2 is compatible with GNU GPLv3, though.
- thescriptkiddie 11y agoCompatible doesn't mean equivalent. GPLv2, AGPL, and LGPL are all compatible with GPLv3, but they don't have the same terms.
- dragonwriter 11y agoGPLv2+ (GPLv2 with the optional "or any later version" language) is compatible with GPLv3, but GPLv2 is not otherwise compatible with GPLv3 (e.g., Linux is under GPLv2, and not GPLv3 compatible.)
