Nexenta Project got support from FSF. GPLv3 is available now and its draft removes ambiguities of GPLv2, and in particular, clarifies the old GPLv2 clause 3: "You may copy and distribute the Program<nobr> <wbr></nobr>..." During the discussion [2], Eben Moglen, General Counsel for the Free Software Foundation, noted that he always believed that GPLv2 should be interpreted in the way GPLv3 now makes explicit. Quoting:
"Eben made it very clear indeed that he does not regard the issues that are being raised over Nexenta to be any kind of a problem even under GPL v2..."
Your argument doesn't count anymore... Nexenta Project is absolutely staying on solid legal ground!
