GPLv3 dd3 is out:
http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl3-dd3-guide

I've put up a side-by-side diff of dd2 and dd3:
http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/diff-draft2-draft3.en.html

Brett Smith of FSF has already posted a clarification about the bracketed
phrase at the end of the 2nd last paragraph of section 11 (Patents):
http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/2007-03-28-gplv3-grandfather

His point is that the "from March 28th onward" exemption would not put
Novell in the clear - it's for other companies with seemingly harmless
existing patent deals.

This should make a lot of people interested in this Sunday's talk, so
please forward the information to any relevent list/forum:
