I highly doubt that the so-called "voting" was fairly performed.

If it was, I sincerely hope that GNU/Linux forks and forms a GPLv3 version.

Actually, and better yet, I'd rather assume that development move to
the GNU Hurd (and/or TUD:OS, DROPS, etc...)

If developers other than coporate-backed Linus support staying with GPLv2,
I have ABSOLUTELY_NO_PROBLEM moving my support for the BSD's.

The code that is GPLv2 only, can't be forked and used under GPLv3 without permission from the author of the code. If the developers of Linux are not willing to fight against spyware then a different kernel is probably in my future as well. The spyware is bad because the information that is gathered is quite often used in devious ways.

I think you mean "Linux" in this context, since it is the kernel that you are referring to?
