| Torvalds hasn't ruled out GPL 3 for Linux |
|---|
Linus Torvalds could see using the proposed GPL 3 license for Linux, but he thinks it would be very hard to do in practice and he still has concerns about the Complete Corresponding Source Code section.
Not long after the first draft of the GPL 3 appeared, Torvalds, Linux's founder, objected to GPL 3 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List: "The Linux kernel has always been under the GPL v2. Nothing else has ever been valid." Torvalds concluded his note with the statement that "Conversion isn't going to happen."
