EXPERT RESPONSE
The current GPLv2 will accomplish your
goals, and prevent anyone from taking the source
code private. You may have to wait a long time
for GPLv3, so go ahead with v2 now. As long as
you own the code copyright or have the consent of
the copyright holders, you can always re-license
under version 3 when/if it appears. If you have
specific needs that GPLv2 does not satisfy, then
you might have to pick another license.
There is considerable value in the GPL
because it is well-known and many developers will
not work under other licenses.
