I've finally recovered from hosting a significant (in quality and also in quantity) chunk of the GPLv3 conference in the Acetarium. Over the last week, I've taken some time to reflect on and digest some of the license itself and, more importantly I think, the process by which it the license is being evaluated.
While most of us try not talk about the products of our digestion, I've put together an essay with some of my thoughts on the issue. In particular, I talk about what I think is really at stake in the GPL revisions process and how we, as a community, can best proceed to the best possible license.
