Description:
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.
