My second point was that we don't know what the future will bring. Will new applications being licensed under GPL2 or later, GPL3 or later, GPL4, GPL4 or later... there are lots of options. There are lots of possibilities and I'm wondering if it is at all feasible to create a naming scheme which will fit all.
Sure:
GPL2 GPL2+ GPL3 GPL3+ etc.
That's what I'd be in favor of. I'm not sure the '+' is the best way, because it has other meanings than 'any later' as well.
I missed the bloody obvious.... :lol:
For convenience, you may want to make GPL the equivalent of GPL2+
I think that's not convenient but confusing. --
Even with setting GPL to GPL2+, it is a lot of work. I don't even want to think about the amount of work it creates not doing so... Not sure if it is really worth the effort at this point. Ronald
