"When I wrote about the wrangling over the GNU GPLv3 licence a month back, it provoked a lively conversation in the comments. Given this evident passion among readers, I thought it would be interesting to ask the top hackers - the ones actually involved in the discussions - for their thoughts on the matter. So I contacted Richard Stallman for the FSF angle, and a bunch of the top kernel hackers - Linus, Alan Cox, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Andrew Morton and Dave Miller - for their view."

"No , the first line is what mather they offer multi-licensing , including the GPL. I quoted the licensing page , exactly , its you who mangle and try to Hamsterize and Spin that wheeelll of yours. "
I wasnt the one who did'nt c/p it all so it made me look good... But it just proves that you arent someone who can be taken serious...
"THAT is even a precedent that show that the GPL is not to be screwed with."
Well you just wanna show you don't really have a clue don't you... If i were to licens my code on the gpl i can change it all i want as long as i don't use other peoples code. That is my right as the copyright owner. Nomather if you like it or not. What i cant do is change the licens on what people allready uses.
Now i'm sure you did'nt think long enough to see that your actually saying you cant close bsd licens software aswell..
