Emacs and GNU tar have switched; gcc will move with 4.3 (.0, or perhaps 4.3.3 [depending on how silly someone is about bumping version #'s]); but most of the other utilities seem to be waiting until their next normal "feature release" before changing the license terms over. Anyway, did you have a specific concern about GPLv3? -- -Chuck
