IIRC, the GPLv3 contains a bunch of modernization "upgrades" over the GPLv2. The only one I can think of off of the top of my head is the "Tivoisation" provision, meaning that hardware manufacturers can't lock-in a specific version of the software to the hardware (meaning you can get the source, but you can't modify and run it on the hardware). There are probably a bunch of provisions for DRM too. But I would imagine that for a desktop developer, there is little to stop you from opting for v3 over v2. If you are familiar with v2, a useful link: http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20060118155841115 Else, gplv3.fsf.org and wikipedia.org are good starts. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
