There's extended literature about the weaknesses of the GNU GPL v2 (patent pacts, tivoization, ...), so I won't elaborate on them here. The FSF web site is the primary source of pro-upgrade-to-GPLv3 propaganda, but you may also find detailed descriptions elsewhere. On the other hand, as far as the weaknesses of the GNU GPL v3 are concerned, you may for instance read my own analysis of the license text: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/06/msg00267.html But please let's not start a (sub-)thread about the merits and flaws of the various GPL versions: I think it would drive us really off-topic (especially for debian-project). -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
