Open Source infighting over the GPLv3 just turned nastier - in a post on the Linux kernel mailing list, Linus Torvalds effectively called the authors of the GPLv3 'hypocritical morons'. InformationWeek has reported on the issue: "Linux creator Linus Torvalds said the authors of a new software license expected to be used by thousands of open source programmers are a bunch of hypocrites and likened them to religious fanatics - the latest sign of a growing schism in the open source community between business-minded developers like Torvalds and free software purists."

It is directed at people who are trying to tell him he's wrong for choosing GPLv2 over GPLv3. It's therefore entirely correct and fair. Anyone who is campaigning for 'freedom' by telling people what to do needs to re-examine their methods.
