Are You In Violation of GPL v3?
Though the final release of the open source GPL version 3 license is still likely several months away, software vendors are already ramping up their efforts to help track violations.
While the new license is intended to help extend and protect software freedom, there are at least two software vendors that are likely to profit from GPL version 3.
Both Black Duck Software and Palamida produce software that is used to identify potential license issues and both are claiming that they'll be ready whenever GPL version 3 is officially released.
"I think the growing awareness in the change for the most commonly used open source license represents an opportunity for us and anyone in our space," Palamida CEO Mark Tolliver told internetnews.com.
The new GPL version 3 license is the first update to the open source license in 15 years and introduces a number of new provisions for DRM (Digital Rights Management), patents and networked (Software as a Service) uses.
