SugarCRM -- from an Open Source 'ISO Offender' to nothing but the GNU GPLv3.

SugarCRM is to adopt Version 3 of the GNU general public license (GPLv3) for the next release of its open source CRM software after coming under pressure from its user community to move away from its own Sugar Public License.

With support at this scale, the future of GPLv3 looks much brighter.
