These two factors usually cause even new students of GPL to start with GPLv2
|

and move on to GPLv3, and this tutorial follows that pattern.

We recognize that, overall, the changes made in GPLv3 have increased the

complexity of the license. We would have liked to oblige those who have asked

us for a simpler and shorter GPL, but we had to give priority to making GPLv3

Overall, the changes made in GPLv3 admittedly \textit{increased} the
|
||||
complexity of the license. The FSF stated at the start of the GPLv3 process
|
||||
that they would have liked to oblige those who have asked for a simpler and
|
||||
shorter GPL\@. Ultimately, the FSF gave priority to making GPLv3 do the job
|
||||
that needs to be done to build a better copyleft. Obsession for concision
|
||||
should never trump software freedom.
