Cudos to Stallman, The patent retaliation clause is exactly what has 
been missing.  The inclusion of custom binaries was a little vague, but
the net of it is that the end user can combine the separate parts, and 
have the freedom to do so given the GPL3 terms.  Any concensus on 
whether Linux will move to GPL3?   I support adoption and congrats to 
Stallman -- A++++.

That's my standpoint, at least. Always has been. It's
the reason I chose the GPL in the first place (and
it's the exact same reason that I wrote the original
Linux copyright license). I do _software_, and I
license _software_.

sorry) ;/

Are you not worried that with the GPLv2 also has the
clause where if patents not themselves open for use
then the whole work becomes non-distributable anymore?
Ie, nobody could work on the Linux kernel anymore. I
mean, I don't think the FSF would screw people over,
if they did nobody would use the GPL license and that
would hurt them. I really don't understand why it has
to be a 'us vs them' mentality here. We're all trying
to create Free/Open software.

I'm more concerned that with GPLv2 license as it is,
may put the kernel in danger of itself being
non-distributable in any sort of way (patents, or
other ways?).

I don't personally care if the kernel is v2 or v3, my
concern is the kernel source itself is safe from evil
interests out there.
