GPL v3 on the way...Palamida trying to help make it easier to understand

Palamida announced that it has enhanced it's IP Amplifier product with the addition of the GPL v3 analyzer functionality. The company has also created a comprehensive GPL v3 online educational resource repository, gpl3.palamida.com, to assist organizations looking to implement software licensed under GPL v3.

I think this is a cool idea and would like to see some more data about the relationship of v2 and v3. It would also be great to see someone clearly bullet out the differences in the versions. For that matter, I would like someone to explain how things like the Java classpath and FLOSS exception work, and how someone might go about creating their own exceptions should they need to.

Palamida's GPL3 analyzer functionality is on a continued evolutionary path to include some of the points you mention in your post. The interesting thing about working with a new license type is that no one knows what it looks like in action. Palamida has offered up their extensive research to the public, so companies that are interested in specific licenses have the ability to track them and be alerted to any moves they make to GPL3. In addition, we offer a comprehensive view of many thousands of licenses that have indicated their intent to move and the commentary surrounding which ones will and won't. In our field, it is a given that we would add GPL3 license data to our already massive compliance library. As any project moves, it's been added to our library of over 3 Terabytes of other relevant, granular license and open source project data. We hope that the community will get great use from our resource site and find that our enhancements to IP Amplifier truly put us at the top of the stack for IP and Vulnerability detection in OSS.
