Re: [PD-dev] GPLv3

is there a reason for this switch? (apart from staying "current")

i haven't followed the discussion about GPLv3 in the last month, but last time i did it was _very_ controversial...

It's not that controversial anymore as I see it. See http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/92214 for a quick overview in german language.

A practical issue to be aware of is, that GPLv3 is incompatible with "GPLv2 only", but it is compatible with "GPLv2 or later". As I see it, one result would be that as soon as one external in pd-extended becomes GPLv3, all of pd-extended becomes GPLv3 and no external, that is licensed under "GPLv2 only" can be included anymore.
