There must be a socio-linguistic gap here. In the US (and probably in Canada/UK/ANZ), there's an expression that after the revolution is won, the revolutionary leaders are brought "out back" and shot. The meaning is that the firebrand personality and temperament needed to foment and lead a revolution is counter to those needed to run the country once the revolution is over. But the revolutionaries obviously don't want to give up power, and they'd cause too many headaches and embarrassments, so "professional politicians" quickly step in and have the firebrands "neutralized". > The GPLv3 does good things and fixes many problems.
