All new features compared to SushiSwap.

Interesting to note the updated license for v3, in an attempt to prevent another SushiSwap

'Uniswap v3 Core will launch under the Business Source License 1.1—effectively a time-delayed GPL-2.0-or-later license. The license limits use of the v3 source code in a commercial or production setting for up to two years, at which point it will convert to a GPL license into perpetuity'

One of the big selling points of the original uniswap was that everything was open source as opposed to bancor. I am disappointed by this.

Since the SushiSwap was anonymous fork of Uniswap, I'm wondering how they plan to prevent an another anonymous fork just by using a different license?

Honestly they probably can't prevent forks. It's more of a discouragement, since as a forker you'd be subject to being sued if they can figure out who you are.

So basically this will prevent American citizens from forking, but international folks will have free reign to fork as they wish.

Through the only avenue that licenses matter - litigation.
