That's effectively LGPL.. even then, though it would still be problematic for embedding and hold back adoption in browsers and various platforms (game engines, etc).

Realistically a basic rendering and conversion implementation should be at least Apache 2, or something even more permissive (MIT/BSD/ISC). It was my first thought/comment when I saw the GPLv3 notice... They should switch the license quickly if they want to see adoption/support. Getting a free standard in place is more important than using a copyleft license.
