Original post provide by php|a news

Elizabeth Naramore writes: After eighteen months and four public drafts, the long-awaited version 3 of the GNU/GPL License is finally here. According to the press release on the Free Software Foundation site, collaboration was a key ingredient to making the license as practical and useable as possible.

“By hearing from so many different groups in a public drafting process, we have been able to write a license that successfully addresses a broad spectrum of concerns. But even more importantly, these different groups have had an opportunity to find common ground on important issues facing the free software community today, such as patents, tivoization, and Treacherous Computing,” said the Foundation's executive director, Peter Brown.To see the GPLv3 in all its glory, you can view the full document, and to show your support and usage of the new license, be sure to grab an icon from the FSF's blog post announcing the release.
