Eben Moglen and the folks rewriting the GPL are looking at a proposal
where companies would be required to pay money if they use GPLed
software, even if they don't redistribute the software.

Version 3.0 of the General Public License (GPL) may be years away, but
one insider says proposed changes to it could impact companies like
Amazon, Yahoo and Google.

There was also a debate around it on slashot.
