MediaGoblin 0.7.0 released

The comment as posed is somewhat misleading: a great deal of GPLv2 code is published under the FSF recommended "or any later version" construct, which means that such code is also usable under the GPLv3, which combines with the AGPLv3 seamlessly to create an AGPLv3 product.

What is tricky about publishing the code? If one is already presenting such code as a web application, which is the only real domain of interest for the AGPL, then adding a link to download the code can hardly be said to be burdensome.

I note that the AGPLv3 has much less onerous terms for license violation than its predecessor: if you are notified of a violation "by some reasonable means" and you cure the violation within 30 following days, then your rights under the license are reinstated. This seems perfectly reasonable and fair to me. The chief complaint against the GPL licenses generally boils down to "I don't want to actually expend any effort to give others the rights that were extended to me when I was offered this software." That permeates the "open source" community, which emphasizes purely practical aspects of sharing source code, and has enormous corporate forces behind it which accept a certain amount of infrastructure openness where shared development serves their profit interest, while still defending large proprietary codebases.
