Linus Torvalds Says No to Kernel Switching to GPLv3

Linus posted on the Linux Kernel Mailing List today and said that the kernel will not be moving to GPLv3. “The Linux kernel is under the GPL version 2. Not anything else. Some individual files are licenceable under v3, but not the kernel in general. And quite frankly, I don’t see that changing.”
