If you'd like "v2 or v3", I may agree.
Anyway I don't like the idea of an unspecified future license. It defeats the
very goal of free software.
On a purely practical note, given that the kernel code has to be GPLv2 (for
the forseeable future), won't it be a license nightmare if the userspace were
under a different license?
I know the userspace is not derived form the kernel, but this would surely add
complexity.
