[Fsf-friends] 10 common misunderstandings about the GPL

[പ്രവീണ്‍‌|Praveen]

Hi,

 IT Manger's journal has an article about 10 common misunderstandings about
the GPL which you can read here
http://www.itmanagersjournal.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/21/1659203

The experts NewsForge consulted to come up with this are:
Richard Fontana, a lawyer with the Software Freedom Law Center and one of
the main drafters of the third version of the license; David Turner, former
compliance engineer at the Free Software Foundation who is assisting with
the revisions of the license; and Harald Welte of the GPL-Violations
project<http://gpl-violations.org/>,
which tracks possible cases of non-compliance and tries to assist in
resolving them.

<quote>In the end, Turner concedes, some degree of confusion is probably
inescapable. "There's always going to be people who misunderstand," he says,
"no matter how you write the license, even in words of one syllable."
