I say give them time. It took YEARS for people to understand and become comfortable with the original GPL. Heck, by the number of people who call RMS a "communist", it is clear there are many who still don't really understand it. Once Linus misses his favourite episode of 24 because his Tivo crashed from an easily fixable kernel bug that they will make it impossible to fix ("sorry sir, you'll have to wait for the next regularly scheduled update, which will be exactly 10 minutes after the final showing of that episode"), he will probably change his mind about the GPL3.
