Bootstrap 3.0.2 and 3.0.1 - right direction?

There’s no discussion that, Bootstrap is one of the most popular responsive frameworks available, since Twitter released it in 2011. Thanks to an extensive library of cutting edge components, add-ons and plugins it enables fresh ideas and unconventional approach to every next web project. So there’s no wonder then, that not more than a week ago we’ve heard about Bootstrap 3.0.1, and just two days ago we’ve got Bootstrap 3.0.2. But as our dear old grannies used to say: never too much of a good thing…

But wait a moment, is the 3.0.2 a big change from 3.0.1? As the guys said, v3.0.2 is a quick patch to fix incorrect version numbers in JavaScript files. It also restores missing grid classes and makes a few improvements to the documentation. So it looks like the last change was rather unplanned and the relevant issues aka planned fixes will be released soon in 3.0.3. So there’re still more patches on the way, before we’ll see 3.1.0 in the following months (we bet end of Q1, 2014).

So here they are, 15 changes in the latest patch: http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2013/11/06/bootstrap-3-0-2-released/ And let’s look at 3.0.1, where we can find over 750 commits since v3 was released two months ago. Among them we can find documentation updates, bug fixes, and even a few deprecations (as the guys said – for the first in the history of the project). But we can bet that the biggest change is an official move to MIT license, so starting from 3.0.1, Bootstraps are dual-licensed as Apache 2 and MIT. And the intention is to move the entire project to the MIT version in v3.1.0. But the question is if all contributors to Bootstrap will consent to relicense their changes? What do you think? Is it a one way road?
