The vote is suprising to me, not Linus of course, but some of the others. I am no license expert but is seems to me that GPLv3 goes in the direction of insuring user freedom at the expense of some discomfort for companies by giving the users better access to the code. I thought most of the developers were interested in insuring freedom over dollars. So does this mean that most of the top kernel developers have no problem with Tivo? What about protection of the users privacy? Do they have an answer to the problems or don't they care?
