It gets rid of the particularly onerous change at will clause and lets publishers make descisions based on what the current version of the GSL says without having to worry about being bound by unknown future restrictions. It essenstiallly means the only unknown will be how long the licence lasts (either by cancelation or unaceptable changes).
In that case, I hope Green Ronin won't bring Freeport to 4e.
