The FSF today released the fourth and 'last call' draft for version 3 of the GNU GPL. The Foundation will hear comments on the latest draft for 29 days, and expects to officially publish the license on Friday, June 29, 2007. The new draft incorporates the feedback received from the general public and official discussion committees since the release of the previous draft on March 28, 2007. FSF executive director Peter Brown said: "We've made a few very important improvements based on the comments we've heard, most notably with license compatibility. Now that the license is almost finished, we can look forward to distributing the GNU system under GPLv3, and making its additional protections available to the whole community."

There's no much diference form MS to the FSF, both try to make you a slave in one way or another.
This has to be the biggest pile of ....!
I think this is a moment of further escalation in the free vs. proprietary conflict. It is quite a big step in the direction of increasing pressure to keep free software pure, thus forcing those who are still sitting on a fence to take a leap. As such I don't see anything wrong with it, quite the opposite I completely endorse it
