Oh, bullshit.

I mean seriously, how can you say stuff like that? The GPLv3 is probably the most debated, most reviewed, most discussed software license in history. (while still in draft, were changes can actually happen) There are thousands of people, hundreds of orginizations, intellectual property owners from all around word have given input and had questions answered (some in more general ways then others). Everything rom small Free software groups to multi-billion dollar corporations.

If you don't like it, thats fine. But at least have a realistic view on it and the amount of people that think it's pretty good stuff.

Samba, for example, have already stated that they are moving to it. Sun Microsystems seem to like it pretty well also.
