GNU, GPL, Open Source Bruce Perens writes: "There's been a lot of talk about GPL version 3: whether it goes too far to be acceptable to business, whether the Linux kernel developers will ever switch to it, whether our community will fork or undergo unrest over it. Much of that talk is based on a poor understanding of the GPL3 terms, and with release of the new license imminent, it's time to clear that up."

Grudge Match!

Bruce is just sad because his "open hardware license" turned out to be so badly received.

The article didn't address most of the things it claimed to address. It didn't mention any real FUD about GPLV3 and it didn't resolve any. It was a random collection of random ranting and vague innuendo.

Looks like Bruce is heading towards ESR levels of irrelevance.

Yeah. Well, at least UserLinux was a huge success.
