We can agree to disagree on that. Sorry, no we cannot. You seem to not accept that "in my opinion". That's not somethign we can disagree on. My opinion is _mine_ to state. There's no room for disagreement. It's my opinion, and your "agreement" is not optional. So when I say "I think what Tivo did is good", then you'd better just say, "ok, that's your opinion, and I respect you for it". Otherwise you're a douche-bag and an idiot. And once you realize that _I_ think that Tivo did is good, you have to accept that I think that the GPLv3 is the worse license in my opinion. So stop blathering about anything else. Just accept it. Just repeat after me: "Linus thinks that the GPLv3 is a bad license, and Linus is not confused". Don't call me "confused". Don't bother talking about what _you_ think, or what the FSF thinks is the "spirit". Don't say that you cannot understand it. Because if you cannot understand it, the only thing it shows is _your_ lack of understanding.
