v3 prevented people from using patent agreements and hardware restrictions as additional restrictions on top of copyright law. They did drove away people who consider such additional restrictions to be beyond the scope of what a copyright license should be able to address. Linus for example have explained in depth how he consider the restrictions of patents and DRM to be bad and counterproductive to the community, but that he doesn't think a copyright license is the right place to address them. If a copyright license is the right or wrong place to address restrictions outside copyright law is an interesting discussion to have, but "similar in spirit" seems to match pretty well. I for one do not care if the legal restrictions sit under regular copyright law, software patent law, or Digital Millennium Copyright Act subsection DRM. They are pretty much similar in spirit.
