GPLv2 forks of GPLv3 projects?GPLv2 forks of GPLv3 projects?Posted Jul 4, 2007 16:58 UTC (Wed) by copsewood (subscriber, #199)In reply to: GPLv2 forks of GPLv3 projects? by smcdow Parent article: GPLv3 is out
You can start with the latest version released under GPL 2 or 2 and later and keep it that way, but you can't merge any changes that are GPL 3 only or 3 and later into your GPL 2 fork. How long you can maintain your fork will depend upon whether your development budget (time and money) goes further than that of the set of developers of the GPL3 fork. Realistically I think that most projects will follow the views of the lead developer/s.
