Actually, I think meaning that gplv2 code that is not gplv2 only will automatically become gplv3 code when mixed in with gplv3 code... Or at least the overall program will automatically be gplv3. If I have understood at all. I may not have used the best wording here mind you.
Corrections welcome.
all the best,
drew
Recommendation: no GPLv3 for Solaris Posted Feb 11, 2007 1:34 UTC (Sun) by b3timmons (guest, #40286) [Link] Oops, I should have chosen better words. The point is that very few projects are "v2 only". For the many that are v2+, compatibility is not an issue.
Recommendation: no GPLv3 for Solaris Posted Feb 11, 2007 7:42 UTC (Sun) by kripkenstein (subscriber, #43281) [Link] Regarding this issue, it seems that the Linux kernel has a lot of v2+ code in it, perhaps as much as half.

Recommendation: no GPLv3 for Solaris Posted Feb 12, 2007 1:50 UTC (Mon) by sepreece (subscriber, #19270) [Link] Note that, regardless of what license is specified in a particular file, if the file is a derivative work of a GPLv2 work, then it could only be distributed under GPLv2...
Recommendation: no GPLv3 for Solaris Posted Feb 12, 2007 3:24 UTC (Mon) by notamisfit (subscriber, #40886) [Link] How much of the modern kernel could be considered a derived work ofLinus's original code?
Recommendation: no GPLv3 for Solaris Posted Feb 12, 2007 4:36 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] he isn't the only one who doesn't want the GPLv3.
