The European Union's open source licence, EUPL, is to be revised,
aiming to make it compatible with the GPLv3 and AGPLv3 and other
licences. A public consultation begins today on Joinup, with the
publication of a first draft and a background document on some of the
proposed changes.

The main reason to update the licence is to remove barriers that could
hinder others in the open source communities from using software
licensed under the EUPL. "Making it explicitly compatible with the
GPLv3 should increase interoperability", explains Patrice-Emmanuel
Schmitz, a Brussels-based legal specialist working involved in the
drafting of the EUPL.
