> That is the case of Linus Torvalds not using the standard "or later" clause. He has his (bad) reasons. Linus does not think GPLv3 is a good or fitting license for the Linux-kernel and that it changes too much things to be considered a new version of the same license as GPLv2. So he refuses to add the “or later” backdoor which would effectively relicense “his” kernel with a license he does not approve of. Is that not his right?
