gnubiff

Hi,

the FSF wants us to upgrade gnubiff to GPL version 3. Are there any objections?

CU Robert :-)

Fine for me, and technically no problem, I already did that for another GNU package myself. Since all the source code files carry the GPL version "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version", it should be OK. Even if you wouldn't ask Nicolas. ;-))) bye, Roland

The GPLv3 covers more corner cases, e.g. license globalization, patent law, etc. The general licensing scheme will stay the same for gnubiff as a normal desktop program. Also, the protocol interactions shouldn't be affected here. However, since the FSF could legally relicense Gnubiff themselves, there is not much difference to the current state... bye, Roland
