Stallman, Torvalds, and Novell comment on GPLv3

Three of the major stake­hold­ers in the upcom­ing GPLv3 have com­mented on the lat­est draft. Stall­man, the founder of the FSF, has mostly been deal­ing with issues aris­ing from the draft. Tor­valds has been a pub­lic critic of the new ver­sion and as head of the largest open source project to use the GPL, car­ries a lot of clout. Nov­ell prob­a­bly has the most to lose, given v3 directly addresses patent deals like they one they recently forged with Microsoft.
