The Free Software Foundation is no longer committing to the planned March deadline for a new version of the General Public License, but a third draft of the seminal open-source license is due soon.
When the foundation began its GPL revamp, it planned to release a final "last call" draft by January 15 and the GPL 3 itself "no later than March 2007." Now, however, Executive Director Peter Brown isn't willing to pin down a firm schedule.
"We are still working on the last-call draft, and I hope that we will get that out within the next two or three weeks. Beyond that, we haven't made any decision about the final release date," Brown said.
