The Free Software Foundation has published a set of opinion papers as a supplement to the rationale document for the GPLv3 second draft. They cover topics like patent retaliation, DRM, BitTorrent, and others. "Draft 1 did not address peer-to-peer transmission; it was an issue that had escaped our notice. The experts on the discussion committees we formed in January did not call this issue to our attention either. Rather, the issue was pointed out to us by two unaffiliated members of the free software user community."
