I believe a number of people don't think the GPL v3 is in the same spirit as the GPL v2. I guess it comes down to what people thought the spirit of the GPL v2 was. There certainly seems to be a variety of opinions on that, and I am not sure the FSF's opinion on it agrees with what most others believe, but that would be rather difficult to determine. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
