The copyright notices of many pieces of software contain the clause that it's covered by v2 or later versions, but the licencse itself does not.

Thanks for the correction, although the end result is the same. No tech ping?

the Linux kernel itself does not contain the "future versions" clause.

Which is why we're having this discussion, however as the kernel itself is only a tiny portion of any typical Linux "distribution", and many if not most of the developers of the other software components either transferred their copyrights directly to Stallman or will follow his anti-DRM lead to GPL3, a fork of Linux between the two licenses appears likely.

No. There was an OSS ping.

I view it as merely possible--not likely.
