Torvalds Puts Support Behind GPL2 Linux

Posted in Live (January 8, 2008 at 8:48 pm)

Christiangrays writes “Linux creator Linus Torvalds has used an interview being made public by the Linux Foundation to stress that version 2 of the GPL still makes the most sense for the Linux kernel over the newer GPL version 3. GPL 3, which was released last year by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), reflects the FSF’s goals while GPL 2 closely matches what Torvalds thinks a licence should do, Torvalds said. “I want to pick the licence that makes the most sense for what I want to do. And at this point in time, Version 2 matches what I think we want to do much, much better than Version 3,” said Torvalds, who is now a fellow at the foundation. He was interviewed in late-October by Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin.”
