I'm not one to say if Debian will convert, but I'm pretty sure it be
mostly beneficial if they do. GPLv3 covers things v2 didn't touch
(Which is of course, why they're rewriting another GPL license). 

I'd like to know what the more knowledgeable people here would have to
say about the GPLv3 though, since I really don't know much about it
except that it covers DRM (Which previous versions of the GPL didn't
touch).

Does anyone have a list of the differences in plain English? (This is
why I prefer the BSD license! Short and sweet.)
