Seeing that CUPS is no longer going to be under the GPL, what are we going to do about printing? We have two options, if we want to have control of our printing,
- Fork the current version of CUPS and keep developing it ourselves;
- make our own printing software (and potentially have to deal with less quality or reliability).
So, we must ask ourselves what Lenin asked a while back: What is to be done?

It's not GPL'd, but CUPS is still free software. It's licensed under Apache 2.0, which isn't ideal, but still fine.
Plus it's 2017 why do we care about printing software.
