Copyleft-next project relaunched
The copyleft-next project is aneffort to develop a next-generation copyleft license; it was covered here back in 2013 (as well as in 2015 and 2021). The project has stalled in recentyears, but now Richard Fontana and Bradley Kuhn have announceda new effort to push copyleft-next forward:
Today, GPLv3 turns exactly 18 years old. This month, GPLv2 turned34 years old. These are both great licenses and we love them.Nevertheless, at least once in a generation, FOSS needs a newapproach to strong copyleft.
