Linksvayer: 5 years of GPLv3

Mike Linksvayer shares his reflections on the importance of the GPLv3, which was released five years ago today. "I suggest that number (add qualifiers of and scaling by importance, quality, etc, as you wish) of works under GPLv3 or use of GPLv3 relative to other licenses are less important markers of GPLv3′s success, and that of the broader FLOSS community, than the number and preponderance of works under GPLv3-compatible terms."
