GPLv3 draft coming in January
The Free Software Foundation has sent out a press release describing the process for the upcoming discussions on the new version of the General Public License. "After publishing the first discussion draft of the GPL in January, the FSF
will begin a structured process of eliciting feedback from the community, with
the goal of producing a final license that best defends freedom and serves
community and business. The process will include public discussion,
identification of issues, considerations of those issues, and publication of
responses. Publication of the second discussion draft is expected by summer
2006 and a last call, or final discussion draft, will be produced in the fall
of 2006. The final GPLv3 license is expected no later than spring 2007."

GPLv3 draft coming in January Posted Dec 2, 2005 10:58 UTC (Fri) by kleptog (subscriber, #1183) [Link] Coming from the other side of the world I really dislike references like "summer 2007". Is that the beginning or end of 2007? Oh right, they're in the northern hemisphere, they mean middle of the year.
The words beginning, middle and end would be far more useful.
GPLv3 draft coming in January Posted Dec 5, 2005 16:39 UTC (Mon) by baruch (subscriber, #14769) [Link] And considering the fact that the original document says they aim for January 2007 but might be delayed until March 2007 I dont see the reason to obfuscate it even as much as saying start of the year.
