Re: D5's CMS going OpenSource
Note that at the very top of the GPLv2 and v3 it says "Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed." So I wouldn't plan on amending or changing the GPL for your program. I believe the only thing you can tailor is the licensees right to apply future versions of the GPL to the code without the copyright holders permission. I believe the Linux kernel does this. The GNU has this in their FAQ at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ModifyGPL
