- saurik 5y agoThe AGPL licenses are explicitly compatible with the GPL ones. FWIW, this issue is essentially entirely caused by Linus, who refuses to use or accept GPL3.

- bombcar 5y agoThe very fact that the GPL v3 is incompatible with v2 indicates that v2 has something the v3 takes away, no matter how well-meaning that was.
- account42 5y agoWhat the GPL3 takes a way is a loophole to violate the spirit of the GPL without violating the letter of the GPL2.
- saurik 5y agoLinus's reasons for causing this issue having merit does not mean he wasn't entirely the cause of the issue: those are unrelated axes.
