I saw this, and no doubt there will be many other articles. As many works here fall under the GPL, I figured this was only slightly OT. http://news.com.com/Overhaul+of+GPL+set+for+public+release/2100-7344-6025310.html?part=dht&tag=nl.e703 "A major revamp of the General Public License is scheduled for public release next week, a move that's expected to kick off a long and vocal debate over the key foundation of open-source programming. The Free Software Foundation will release and describe the first public draft of version 3 of the document on Jan. 16, at the First International Conference on GPLv3 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the organization said. FSF founder Richard Stallman released the current version 2 in 1991. Since then, it's been used to govern Linux, Samba, MySQL and thousands of other open-source projects. The new version is expected to address a host of technology issues that have arisen in the last 15 years, including patent issues and software running on a remote server. The GPL is a seminal work. It's not just a legal document, but also a manifesto of the free software movement and its offshoot, the open-source movement."
