I am not a member of the church of GNU, nor do I wish to be. I respect Richard Stallman (and his band of followers) for what he's accomplished in jumpstarting the Free Software movement (and the Open Source movement as an offshoot of that), but since I fundamentally do not agree with everything the FSF proclaims, I do not trust them to *only* come up with licenses that protect the rights that I think free software should protect for its users. Therefore, while I don't mind contributing to a piece of software that comes with an "or later" clause, I am not likely to pick a license with an "or later" clause for anything I write myself. This goes for GPLvX "or later", but also for other "or later" licenses, where they exist. I'm convinced that the GPLv2 is a free license, but I'm so far undecided on the GPLv3 (mainly because I've not read the license text in much detail myself yet since it's far too long and I just never had the time). How is that in any way antisocial? -- This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
