  Subject: Launch of GNU GPLv3

  On Friday, June 29, at 12 noon (EDT), the Free Software Foundation will
  officially release the GNU GPL version 3. Please join us in celebration
  as we bring to a close eighteen months of public outreach and comment,
  in revision of the world's most popular free software license.

  Beyond the creation of an improved license, the process of drafting
  version 3 has helped highlight vital issues for the community of free
  software users. This is a moment to thank the thousands who participated
  by commenting on the license, and those that represented stakeholders
  through the GPLv3 committee process.

  Now with the release of GPLv3, we will see new defenses extended to free
  software. These defenses will continue the long history of fighting all
  efforts to make free software proprietary.

  Please join us as we stream live footage of Richard Stallman announcing
  GPLv3 from Noon (EDT) at www.fsf.org <http://www.fsf.org>.

  If you are in the Boston area you can also join us at the FSF offices
  from 11:30am. Please let us know at <info at fsf.org 
<mailto:info at fsf.org>> if you would like to
  attend.
