Linus may have it wrong on digital rights management, but it's the vague wording and confusing concepts - like what is meant by a 'derivative work' - that is causing the real headaches over the next General Public License. A representative of the Free Software Foundation, leading the effort around GPL 3.0, said that Linux creator Linus Torvalds had 'misread' the license's provisional terms.

GPLv3 will only affect DRM makers and if you want DRM makers to use your software then don't license it under GPLv3, period.
Linus prolly want DRM makers use Linux w/o a problem, I woulnd't mind eather.
so, GPLv3 will be only unpopular to DRM makers, in that way we will be able to see how much support gets the GPLv3 licensed software and realease that if its true that Commercial/Propetary vendors had put OSS where it is or it is where it is now thanks tou its own merits.
