I said that in my earlier article. But this does not mean that all election software must be initially created under GPLv3. There is a large project community we can build around many open source licenses that are compatible with GPLv3 for election system software. For example, the OSET OPL, the MPL, and the Apache License, and many others, are compatible with GPLv3. Such software can trivially be aggregated with GPLv3 software for use worldwide.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>/Larry<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Lawrence Rosen<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>Rosenlaw (</span><span style='color:black'><a href="http://www.rosenlaw.com/"><span style='font-size:8.0pt'>www.rosenlaw.com</span></a></span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>3001 King Ranch Rd., Ukiah, CA 95482<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>Cell: 707-478-8932 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>This email is licensed under </span><span style='color:black'><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><span style='font-size:8.0pt'>CC-BY-4.0</span></a></span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>.
