> Give. Me. A. Break. > Section 6 is inherently broken. You mean the bits against Tivoization in it, right. You point out reasons you dislike the particular wording (good, can you relay them to gplv3.fsf.org, please?), but nowhere do you show where such provisions hamper the tit-for-tat goal that Linus likes about GPLv2 and claims to be the reason he chose v2. In fact, I've shown evidence that anti-Tivoization increases this tit-for-tat. Still, v2 is preferred over v3 under these grounds. How can it be? > And BTW, you've been told just that about an hour before you've sent that > mail. Yup. I got your opinion. Now I got it twice, and others got it once. How about others' opinions?
