Well, I can't talk about barbara's idea, as I don't know anything about his past in that regard.

I CAN, however, see that the arguments he presents are largely based in 'don't trust Richard Stallman', and that's why I made the observations I did. I don't he likes Stallman, and I can't blame him: Stallman's GNU/Linux name grab made ME furious, and I'm not even one of the people in the project.

Regardless, I think it's a bad reason to try to sabotage GPLv3. I don't KNOW that that's the reason, but it sure looks likely to me, given their past and the way he's framing his arguments.

I mean, he couldn't use the GPLv3 even if he wanted to, so why try to mess it up for everyone else?
