Hi,

The below listed packages are some of the widely used GNU/Linux Free
Softwares hosted in gnu.org.

Package  License  URL
=========================================================

bash      gplv2    http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/
diffutils gplv2    http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/
gdbm       gplv2       http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/
libtool  gplv2    http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
ncurses  MIT        http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/
time      gplv2    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/time/
bc        gplv2    http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/
dejagnu  gplv2    http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/
gperf       gplv2    http://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/
make      gplv2    http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/

The common nature of these packages are: 
a) Free Softwares hosted in gnu.org
b) All are non GPLv3

While we are fighting to make GNU/Linux kernel and other softwares to
be under GPLv3, why we are forgetting these packages as these packages
are hosted in gnu.org itself ?

I think , it will be better for use to use a page in any of the open
wikis to track these programs (the above given list is not complete)
and complete the conversion to GPLv3 on a priority basis for these
packages.

Hmm.. I don't think we can do something to a package like ncurses
which is distributed under MIT License.

Thanks and Regards,
