Which GPL applies?

[Jay Maynard]

In article <2058 at sixhub.UUCP> davidsen at sixhub.UUCP (bill davidsen) asks the
musical question:
>Which GPL applies to programs which say that they are
>copyright under the conditions of the GPL?

The GPV addresses this question itself. Each version carries a version number;
authors may specify which version of the GPV they wish to have apply to their
code. If no selection is made, then the terms of any version may be used in
redistributing the code.

Unfortunately, according to another posting, it looks like the GPV itself
won't be modified, but rather a new license created. This is a shame, since
it doesn't disinfect the virus.
