Eben Moglen, legal counsel to the Free Software Foundation, discussed the details of the draft General Public License Version 3 -- including its defenses against the Microsoft-Novell deal -- in an online seminar hosted by OpenLogic Inc. today. It was a timely discussion, given Microsoft's assertion earlier this week that Linux and other open-source programs violate 235 of its patents. (The GPL is the license under which many open-source programs are distributed.)
