Will Stallman Kill the "Linux Revolution?"

"The October 30 issue of Forbes Magazine has an article speculating that
Richard Stallman's efforts to rewrite the GPL could threaten to 'tear it
apart.' The article describes how the GPLv3 is expected to be incompatible
with the GPLv2, causing trouble for Linux vendors such as Novell and Red
Hat. The article wraps it up: 'And a big loser, eventually, could be
Stallman himself. If he relents now, he likely would be branded a sellout by
his hard-core followers, who might abandon him. If he stands his ground,
customers and tech firms may suffer for a few years but ultimately could
find a way to work around him. Either way, Stallman risks becoming
irrelevant, a strange footnote in the history of computing: a radical hacker
who went on a kamikaze mission against his own program and went down in
flames, albeit after causing great turmoil for the people around him.'"
