The Affero GPL version 3 is a new software licence which does not receive the attention it deserves. Skype, for example, could truly benefit from it (the company has just suffered major layoffs). The AGPLv3 has already seen some early adopters and a quick introduction was published last week. It introduces developers to this licence.

There is another new addition worth mentioning:

Intended as a pluggable architecture for organizations to provide their own fingerprint rules and identify open source packages, OSS Discovery is licensed under the new Affero GPLv3 (AGPLv3) for open source SaaS.

One addition that has been mentioned before is a Windows application that embraced the GPLv3 as well. It's worth repeating because it reached the wires.

Script Start Community 2.0 is available today for use at no charge under a GPLv3 license and can be downloaded at www.scriptstart.com.

GPLv3 FUD continues to dissolve as more and more developers look at their peers and realise that only false perceptions have caused unjustified harm. ⬆
