Posted in GPL, Interview, Law, Microsoft, Novell, Patent Covenant at 7:42 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

The GPLv3 is not an agreement between two specific parties; instead, it is an agreement between a community of software developers, on the one hand, and one or more users of the software, on the other hand.
