Friday Several kernel developers issued a position paper criticizing the GPLv3 drafts. That prompted Software Freedom Law Center chairman Eben Moglen to issue a 'renewed invitation' yesterday to kernel developers to participate in the GPLv3 process. Linus Torvalds responded to Moglen's statement by saying that his position on the license is clear and that he's "fed up" with the FSF.

Locking down hardware so far has only been about black box devices, like DVRs. I have a very difficult time believing that without GPL3, we're all doomed to Windows-only computers forever and ever. Besides, too many manufacturers have already sunk too much money into Linux for that to happen (with the aid of GPL *2*, btw).
I don't think predicting doom and gloom in the absence of a new GPL is wise or realistic.
