The Free Software Foundation will release <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2107936,00.asp?kc=EWEWEMNL032707EP36A">the third discussion draft</A> of the GNU General Public License Version 3 on March 28, some eight months after the previous draft was made public.

The move will push back the final release of GPL 3 by several more months, which means the license is now unlikely to debut before late summer at the earliest.
