"We've been talking, meeting, and arguing over GPL 3 for nearly two years. Recently, the second draft of the long-awaited rewrite of the popular free-software license arrived. But Linus Torvalds wasn't happy with the first draft, and nothing has been modified in the second draft to make him change his mind."

not DOA! The support of Torvalds or the lack thereof is not the end of the world. Why does everyone use him as the spokesperson on anything to do with linux? He rants and raves so much I do not care to read anything he writes. He seems to think he is the benevolent dictator and decision maker for all things linux. Once again, I wish for linux to split - I think it is time for a fork.
I've not really read THAT much of Torvalds posts, however the ones that I have read show some one that is speaking their mind and stating what THEY will and will not do. At times he will state why he thinks others may want to follow suit, but there is a far cry between that, and some one dictating/mandating what others will and will not do.
If he chooses not to migrate the kernel to GPL3, then that's really his choice.
