[edit] Problems
First, we need to link to the correct version of the license. The GPLv2 tags, such as Template:GPLv2 only, should link to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html , not http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html . The latter address used to have version 2, but now has version 3. Because of this change, we should be careful to link directly to the version we want for both versions. The specific link for version 3 is http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-3.0.html.
Second, I believe we should really be linking to a local copy of the license. Linking to an offsite may be a violation of the license. It is required (GPLv2, but GPLv3 has similar text) that we "give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program." Linking to an off-site original is probably a violation, and could result in the license text off site changing (like it did this time). Superm401 07:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've already fixed the version issue where I noticed it on Commons. In the process I linked to both current versions for Template:GPL, which has the boilerplate "either version 2 of the License, or any later version." I want to see what others think about linking to an onsite version before doing that. Superm401 07:23, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have linked this from En Wikipedia, as similar issues apply there. Superm401 07:30, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thai Language
{{editprotected}} Since the talk page of the Template:GPL/lang is empty, I posted here and would like to request the translation of Thai Language (Code below) to be included. Thanks. --Harley Hartwell (talk) 10:15, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
