[phpGroupWare-developers] phpGroupWare and GPLv3

[Dave Hall]

Hi all,

I should have sent this out earlier.  

As many of you are probably aware the GPLv3 was released last week.

Technically phpGroupWare is already covered by the new version of the
GPL we use the "GPL v2 or later" as our license.  In the coming weeks
the CVS repository will be formally relicensed to GPL v3 (or LGPL v3 in
the case of most of the API).  It is best if we start with HEAD, then
work on stable.

I hope that in the coming weeks we can release a new 0.9.16.01x GPLv3
version of phpGroupWare.

For more info on GPLv3 see:

* The license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
* Why upgrade http://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.html
* FAQ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

If you have any questions after reading the above links, please feel
free to email the list and we will try to help you - but remember we are
not lawyers :)

Cheers

Dave
