GPLv3: Better Copyleft for Developers and Users

Many developers have not had the time to investigate the new GPLv3 suite of licenses in depth, and understand the differences between the GPLv3-based and the GPLv2-based licenses. This talk will help developers who are generally familiar with the GPLv2 and LGPLv2 to improve their understanding of GPLv3, LGPLv3, and AGPLv3. Specifically, this talk will cover the changes in the patent provisions, improved license compatibility, improved source code provision terms, the internationalization of GPL and many other changes, large and small, throughout the license. Additionally, the new LGPLv3 exception-based format and the Affero clause in AGPLv3 will be discussed.
