The point I'm making is that DEVELOPERS pick the license, and formerly for them they didn't lose much of their freedom by picking GPLv2, just others could also take code and do things. With GPLv3 that changed. Others could still take code and do things, but now they COULDN'T do things. Users desire is not part of this, and is a boring and old trope of OSS where users, doing no work and paying no money - make all sorts of demands. If that is the FSF attitude then good riddance to them, it's old and burns everyone out. They probably have attorneys going crazy and burning out people even more.
