There was no GPLv3 when the Linux kernel was first developed.
- icebraining 13y agoNo, but the GPL already included a "or any later version" clause if the copyright holder wanted to make use of it. Were they supposed to force people to accept it to use the GPL? If not, how is it their fault?
- synchronise 13y agoThey easily could have to stop license proliferation and incompatibilities.
- icebraining 13y agoHow?
- synchronise 13y agoNot allowing the removal of the 'or later' clause.
