I'm also reserving the ability to add future versions of the GPL (as published by the Free Software Foundation) to the license. I will not be have a "GPLv2 or later" clause since I don't want the FSF to upgrade the license without my review. Even though I like the AGPL for web /applications/, I don't think it's appropriate for infrastructure such as Rainbows!. Graham (Cc-ed) is the only contributor to Rainbows! other than myself, and his patch[1] was only trivial bugfix which shouldn't prevent me from making a minor change to the license. Rainbows! depends on Unicorn, and Unicorn (and Mongrel) has more contributors and thus harder to add the GPLv3 to...
