Re: [Gramps-devel] [Gramps-users] GPL v3

[<rom...@ya...>]

Alex,


For me, GPL3 legitimate Software patents, which are currently illegal in 
Europe. Most US patents will never be validated in Europe. Europe allow 
inventions implemented by software.

In addition, the legal system is quite different. The threat and the 
blackmail are also present, but maybe less systematic.

I am far away to be a specialist, just my opinion.
