Hmm, I read a bit more in that thread. It looks to me as if
1 there is a basic consensus amongst the core developers
that a move to GPL v3 (not sure about GPL v3 or later)
is desirable
2a Han-Wen even has done quite a bit of initial paperwork
2b no-one has offered to do the work of tracking down and
get permissions/paper work for the remaining authors
2c Han-Wen is not easily inspired to do silly admin stuff
esp. sot so when attempted to muscle him into it with
"do what I tell you" disguised in invalid
thou-must-bow-for-the-almighty-GNU arguments :-)
3 there is a possibility of transferring copyright to
the FSF [or another governing entity], which could
have a simplifying/catalizing effect on 1 and/or 2
4. There is no disaster if we leave it GPL v2 as it is. I am sure
that there are more interesting bugs in our tracker that need to be
dealt with more urgently.
