Revision as of 21:07, 15 January 2006

Welcome to the GPLv3 Wiki! This site aims to provide information about any and all matters related to the latest revision of the GPL. It should remain purely descriptive; opinions and comments about GPLv3 should go in the comment system.

Right now pages fall into two main categories:

The drafting process for GPLv3

Process is a general catch-all page discussing how GPLv3 is being written and revised, with public feedback. If you have questions or concerns about the drafting process, they can be addressed here.

Event Planning talks about upcoming events related to GPLv3; if you're planning your own event (such as a discussion at a user group meeting), feel free to add it here.

The current draft of GPLv3

FAQ Update is a page where we're working on updating the GPL FAQ to address new issues in GPLv3. You can add information to existing answers, or add your own questions.

Howto explains how GPLv3 would be used and applied in various different circumstances -- how the license would work "in the real world," in other words. This can help illustrate specific principles and inform comments.

Copyright law provides more information about how copyright works around the world. One of the goals for GPLv3 is to make the license work more effectively in many different countries, so this page can help explain why some changes have been made.

Help Grow the Wiki
