Copyleft-next project relaunched

Date:
Wed, 02 Jul 2025 13:50:29 +0000

Description:
The copyleft-next project is an
effort to develop a next-generation copyleft license; it was covered here 
back in 2013 (as well as in 2015 and 2021 ).  The project has stalled in 
recent
years, but now Richard Fontana and Bradley Kuhn have announced a new effort 
to push copyleft-next forward: Today, GPLv3 turns exactly 18 years old.  This 
month, GPLv2 turned
	34 years old.  These are both great licenses and we love them.
	Nevertheless, at least once in a generation, FOSS needs a new
	approach to strong copyleft.
