Hi,
I was wondering what the current thinking around Mediawiki licensing was. I note all the headers are assigned in the core project to enable a license shift. Does wikimedia expect to upgrade the license to 3 in the near future, or is 2 where its at. Obviously there are some big GPL 3 philosophical divides emerging - GPL 3 being seen as a more militant approach to opensource.
GPL3 could cause issues when used in commercial environment for us, so I'd like to know what the devs think!
Kind regards,
Alex

No particular interest in GPLv3 at this time.
