FSF's Brett Smith Answers Your GPLv3 Questions (Groklaw)

FSF Licensing Engineer Brett Smith answers questions from Groklaw readers about GPLv3. "I won't deny that GPLv3 is more complex than GPLv2. That's because we live in a more complex world now, where people interact with software in lots of ways besides sitting down in front of a box that runs their code, and some developers want to have all the advantages of freedom with none of the obligations. You can use simple language if all the participants have shared understanding. Unfortunately, not everybody groks freedom yet."
