> FSF is entering 2006 with a very important task, drafting GPLv-3.
> GPLv-2 was released in 1991, and it is the most widely used free
> software license.  During the course of time, the computing
> environments are transforming, particularly with the entrance of
> webservices and embedded devices.  In the context of these changes,
> it is possible that user's freedom may not be preserved.
> 
> FSF is committed to protect the software freedom even under the
> transformed conditions in future.  A draft of the GPL-v3 will be
> released during the First International Public GPL-v3 launch
> conference to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
> (MIT) on January 16 and 17, 2006. It is very likely that I will
> attend this event and will participate in the deliberations
> representing FSF India.
> 
> I invite the  free software community in India to actively
> participate in shaping the new license.  If you would like to share
>  any specific inputs let us discuss them here in the list.  You may
> also want to send me your thoughts directly.
