I welcome a new GPL.
14 years is a long time in tech..

http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/...q3/000116.html
To develop this new licence, we will be contacting communities across the globe to ensure their participation in the update of one of the most important social documents of our time.
I for one am more then willing to help ( and an active member of nl.linux.org ( atleast at irc, expo's and bbq's ) )

I don't think it'll be a problem for me since I don't sell software and neither does my boss..
We offer online solutions..
If anyone think's he can do better, he can try, that's free trade.

Also, the MSNBC article is based on the first version of the Reuters report, which misquotes the FSF on the provisions concerning software patents. Reuters has meanwhile updated the story.
Here's a few links to the new and corrected version of the story:
