The GPL v3 news is back again. This time the argument is if it is being adopted by open-source projects fast enough. Basically, according to a Linux.com article, some groups are saying that the adoptions of GPL v3 is too slow, but the people from the FSF (Free Software Foundation) are saying that the rate of adoption is just fine. (Anyone reminded of Vista? Microsoft says its doing well, but not everyone agress.)

I have to side with the FSF people. GPL v2 was released a long time ago, so you really can’t compare the adoption of GPL v3 to anything else. The bigger question, though, is does it matters at all to the average open-source software user?

(Note: I am not stating any opinion (because I don’t have one) about GPL v3.)
