Torvalds: GPL Needs Minor Work

The GNU General Public License, which is the most widely used free-software license and is used to license the open-source Linux kernel, is set for its first revision in 13 years. Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system, last week weighed in on the upcoming challenges facing GPL Version 3 in an e-mail interview with eWEEK Senior Editor Peter Galli.

There are reports you have had problems with the GPL and, at one point, were looking at another license for Linux. Is this correct?
