Eric,

Has it been approved by OSI yet?  OSGeo has taken the position that project
code will only be released under OSI approved licenses, and so I think
project adoption of GPL3 should wait for that process to be completed
by OSI.

I asked OSI (via one director) about it a few months ago and they hadn't
started any serious review at that time.

Best regards,
