Hi guys

During his talk, Richard Stallman was extremely convincing when he
explained multiple times why everybody using GPLv2(+) should upgrade to
GPLv3+at least he convinced me.
Sadly, the videos of the talk are not yet available publicly, but I have
good hopes they'll be soon enough.

This is the link where they should appear quickly:
https://video.fosdem.org/2016/ud2218a/

So, I'm not for upgrading to GPLv3+ because of code we want to use from
elsewhere, but in order to fix the current breach Richard Stallman
mentioned.


Best regards,

Arnaud
