That's a bit disingenuous. Linus has said no to the GPLv3, yes, but his reasons for doing so have merit.
- bombcar 5y agoThe very fact that the GPL v3 is incompatible with v2 indicates that v2 has something the v3 takes away, no matter how well-meaning that was.
- account42 5y agoWhat the GPL3 takes a way is a loophole to violate the spirit of the GPL without violating the letter of the GPL2.
- saurik 5y agoLinus's reasons for causing this issue having merit does not mean he wasn't entirely the cause of the issue: those are unrelated axes.
