>On March of 2000, the license was changed to the GPLv3 with the permission of Raph Levien (the main developer of Gzilla/Armadillo).

This does not sound right. GPLv3 is much newer than that.



dillo-0.1.0 release notes from March 2000:

> * Changed the licence to GPL. (Raph agreed on that)

So it's probably just a typo in the article. Intended point is that the license was changed from Gzilla's private copyright notice[1] to the GPL of the time, which would probably be v2.

Nonetheless Dillo's code is also licensed under GPLv3 now.

Oh, right! I'll fix that after coffee, thanks!

Edit: fixed!


GPL v3 is the same day as the iPhone (August 2007)
