[TYPO3-english] Releasing TYPO3 6.2 LTS under GPL Version 3

[Andreas Becker]

Sorry Georg

A discussion about Licensing is not at all trolling but necessary IMHO.

Sorry that you can't accept this!

Nobody asked you specifically to answer those questions. Actually you
brought up the theme by questioning the integration of bootstrap as a
general use for TYPO3 Extension developers and in deed there is a problem
with packaging! This is why it should be discussed here before the Packages
roll out! Do you have alternatives which would work i.e. also with GPLv2
for Packages?

An LTS release is a major release and until now it is not ready to be
published as final. So there is enough time to think about how TYPO3 could
get to be GPLv3. Of course if you would say here now that you are against
moving to GPLv3 this discussion would be simply obsolete perhaps as you
mentioned before. By the way Drupal is in the same process in discussing it
since longer time as they have pretty much the same issue!

I personally have nothing against a move to GPLv3 and would also support
this with my OK if necessary! I think many others here in the list and not
in the list would simply think the same and would be OK if TYPO3 LTS
Version would move to GPLv3. Why not simply give it a try instead of
blocking fruitful discussions. I guess many developers even not know about
those problems at all and a discussion would create also awareness that
i.e. the developer would need to add the Apache License text and all the
other mentioned things to his redistributed TYPO3 Package, and a Website is
simply a distributed Package!

The sooner this process starts the sooner you will probably know a result.

i.e. simply ask the Question: Is somebody against the move for TYPO3 from
GPLv2 to GPLv3 here on the list. If there is somebody - OK than perhaps you
can forget any further discussion like you said. So simply give it a try
and don't block it with your comments. Nobody forces you to discuss it!.
