Which GPL license should be used for the Linux kernel? It doesn't matter because the evolution of the kernel over time will tell us:
1. The present GPL v2 is a fine license for the kernel as history has proved. There is no immediate pending problem with this license.
2. If a future license becomes available that is obviously better than GPL v2 because of some unforeseen future problem and everyone agrees then the kernel will naturally move to the new license.
