From here on, Red Hat's new GPLv2 software projects will have GPLv3 cure for license violators • The Register
'Red Hat on Monday said all of its newly initiated open-source projects that adopt GPLv2 or LGPLv2.1 licenses will be expected to include the GPLv3 "cure" provision. '
'The GPLv3 cure clause gives open-source license violators grace periods of 30 or 60 days, depending on the circumstances, to remedy license violations. '
' "My feeling is that this is a good move and reduces the risk of incorporating GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1 software into projects where the project fully intends to comply with the license." ®'
'The GPLv2 and LGPLv2.x licenses include a provision that automatically terminates the license upon noncompliance. ', "The move follows Red Hat's announcement last November, in conjunction with Facebook, Google and IBM, that the four companies intended to extend the GPLv3 violation remediation language to existing projects under GPLv2, LGPLv2.1 and LGPLv2, except when defending against lawsuits."
