  - GPLv3 was not viable for CUPS

  - Open source community is reacting vocally in various ways and tenors
    - Direction not likely to change

  - Question to resolve: Should the PWG IPP Everywhere certification and 
    ippsample code to shift to this Apache v2 license to smooth the way?
    - Current PWG GitHub ippeveselfcert and ippsample projects are currently 
      dual license CUPS / New BSD
    - Shift from dual CUPS / BSD to Apache v2?

      license is congruent with PWG IP Policy, etc.
    - We can come to a consensus here in the SC but also discuss in the vF2F 
      next week

  - What effects will this have on our partners who might use this code?
    (ippsample, ippeveselfcert)
    - Current projects that are licensed under GPLv2 that use these projects 
      will have to shift to either GPLv3 or Apache v2
