With all respect, but it doesn't look you are acting wisely. Wether you
like Stalman or not, in general, the GPL3 is a big improvement. If you
don't like the DRM stuff, you can always grant an exception. (Allthough
forbidding Tivoisation, just one of the intended improvements, is a wise
decision IMHO.)

"Grant an exception" that anyone can just strip out whenever they like is of no use. Plus the whole "exceptions" and "extra rights" nonsense creates hundreds of non-compatible licenses, for no good reason at all.
