Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

I went to the FSF GPL 3 release event and it was really interesting. There's been a lot of discussion and heated exchanges over the GPL 3, but I was in grad school and wasn't really paying much attention. Listening to the discussions at the event about GPL version 3 was really enlightening.

Personally, I'm excited about the license. It allays some fears I've always had as a developer. Going foward, I'll be putting the majority of my work under the GPL version 3 license.
