In discussion with William Leslie (verte) in the #hurd IRC channel, the idea
of getting rid of GPLv2 only code was exposed.
A kernel under "GPLv3 or later" would be great. Optionally with some "BSD"
code.
Maybe it could be one of the long-term target of "the Hurd roadmap".
<verte> Currently gnumach is using linux 2.0 and 2.2 drivers.
<verte> I am not sure if they are licensed under "GPLv2 or later" or
<verte> just "GPLv2" only.
Maybe we can maintain almost all drivers and move to a "BSD"+"GPLv3 or later"
license. IMHO, the Linux kernel sucks for being in practice GPLv2 only.
Unfortunately I do not have time to realize such task, so instead I have
started a donation-pledge-group with $50 USD at http://gnuherds.org/pledges
So maybe others can carry out such task at the long term.
