Oh well. That is a massive body of evidence you present: (Bruce tried to advocate for GPLv3 on a mailing list and it backfired on you, whose best man actually did threaten to kill him a decade ago. But let me point out this anecdotal piece of evidence: he has so far convinced 1820 people to sign his online petition, many of which were impartial to his particular plead (at least I know I was).

Wait, and then instead of being hired by a major distro like Ubuntu he has worked for Pixar, HP and founded several companies? What a loser!

I'm feeling this strange urge to wipe out every GPLv2-only package from my hard disk. Anybody know how to turn Debian lenny into Nexenta?... just joking.
