To me, one of the more compelling arguments for considering GPLv3 is
"When the Rules Are Broken: A Smooth Path to Compliance". We have been
engaged of late in a parallel discussion regarding a possible
violation of the Sugar GPLv2. If this were actually to be the case,
the violator will have to go through a quite painful process of
petitioning *all* copyright holders for a formal restoration of the
license. Under the 'good behavior' clause of the GPLv3, the licence
can be restored simply by deploying a remedy. Making it easy to
recover from your mistakes is in the spirit of Sugar and our
pedagogical model.
regards.
