GPLv3: Barcelona, June 22nd & 23rd, to host international GPLv3 conference


Free Software Foundation Europe has been busy organising the third
international GPLv3 conference.  We invite you to attend, and ask
attendees to register by emailing oriordan at fsfeurope dot org with the
exact phrase "GPLv3 registration" in the subject.

On the first day of the confernce, Thursday June 22nd, Georg Greve,
Richard Stallman, and Eben Moglen will present the proposed changes
for the third version of the GNU General Public License, as well as
the year-long public consultation effort.

The second day, Friday June 23rd, will host panel discussions with
participants from four continents discussing and taking questions on
the subjects of DRM, GPL enforcement, the consultation process,
awareness of GPLv3, and the current projets of FSFE.  Pablo Machon
will also speak on GPLv3 and the European campaign against software
patents.

Information is available in eight languages on the webpage:

"People sometimes have the feeling that GNU GPL has been around
forever, and they would not be entirely wrong. Published in 1991, the
GNU GPL has proven to be exceptionally successful throughout the past
fifteen years," says Greve. "With such an exceptional success, one
will change as little as possible, but there have been changes in the
legal and technical environment, and in the position of Free Software
and its community, that have made some changes advisable.  The process to
update the licence is aiming at a global GPLv3 drafting team.
Everyone is invited to participate: Joining the conferences is one of
the best ways of doing so."
