On June 29, 2007, the Free Software Foundation ("FSF") issued GNU General Public License Version 3 ("GPLv3"). The issuance of GPLv3 marked the end of a remarkable public consultation process aimed at revamping the GNU General Public License ("GPL") to address issues that the FSF considers to be a threat to the Free Software movement and to clarify issues that have been misunderstood or debated since the publications of GPL Version 2 ("GPLv2"). The result is a license that contains significant changes from GPLv2, many of which are controversial.
