FSF is entering 2006 with a very important task, drafting GPLv-3. GPLv-2 was released in 1991, and it is the most widely used free software license. During the course of time, the computing environments are transforming, particularly with the entrance of webservices and embedded devices. In the context of these changes, it is possible that user's freedom may not be preserved.
FSF is committed to protect the software freedom even under the transformed conditions in future. A draft of the GPL-v3 will be released during the First International Public GPL-v3 launch conference to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on January 16 and 17, 2006. It is very likely that I will attend this event and will participate in the deliberations representing FSF India.
I invite the free software community in India to actively participate in shaping the new license. If you would like to share any specific inputs let us discuss them here in the list. You may also want to send me your thoughts directly.

wishing you all a success in protecting software freedom.
