The GPLv3 Debate: Focusing On the Issues

  2006-11-02 16:30:02
LXer Feature: 02-Nov-2006 Yesterday we sought to"separate the wheat from the chaff", so to speak. Today, we'll take a look at the heart of the issue - the technical question that has been raised around the GPL's anti-DRM clause. I'm all for fighting DRM. I want the digital content I pay for to be available on my terms, seeing how I already paid for it. The question, though, is whether the GPLv3 will be the most effective tool for combating Big Media's attempt to take away our fair use rights.
