• Copyleft-next project relaunched

    The copyleft-next project is an
    effort to develop a next-generation copyleft license; it was covered here back in 2013 (as well as in 2015 and 2021). The project has stalled in recent
    years, but now Richard Fontana and Bradley Kuhn have announced
    a new effort to push copyleft-next forward:

    Today, GPLv3 turns exactly 18 years old. This month, GPLv2 turned
    34 years old. These are both great licenses and we love them.
    Nevertheless, at least once in a generation, FOSS needs a new
    approach to strong copyleft.
