It's been 11 days since the release of the final version of the GPL3 - not even close to long enough to draw conclusions about a license which has been in use since 1991. The previous blog entry has some numbers, but a few thoughts...

there doesn't seem to be a landslide of conversions - but a lot of "GPL2 or later" is an indication that people will be moving over time

It doesn't really make a lot of sense to go through the whole process of updating the license info in your software until you are ready for a new release - another reason why there is no landslide of conversions.

There is, however, some unintentional ambiguity on a lot of project sites - where they just say they are licensed under the GPL (with no version) and point to the FSF site which has been updated to reflect GPLv3. So a user could conclude that the project license has been updated, whether that was the intent or not.

The industry's interest level in GPL 3 seems pretty high - not surprising considering the long development time and public comment period. In my opinion, most organizations haven't really started down the road of, "what does this mean to me?" It's shaping up to be an interesting journey.
