Torvalds: Solaris Could Nudge Linux to GPL 3

Linux leader Linus Torvalds has finally found something that could convince him that the forthcoming version 3 of the General Public License is worth adopting: open-source Solaris. “If Sun really is going to release OpenSolaris under GPL 3, that may be a good reason to move Linux to the new license, Torvalds said in a posting to the Linux kernel mailing list on Monday. “I don’t think the GPL 3 is as good a license as 2, but on the other hand, I’m pragmatic, and if we can avoid having two kernels with two different licenses and the friction that causes, I at least see the reason for GPLv3.”
