In a posting to linux-kernel yesterday, Linus says:
I’m damn fed up with the FSF being the “protector of freedoms”, and also feeling that they can define what those freedoms mean.I feel the exact same way, and have for quite a while. That’s the primary reason I am no longer a paying member of the Free Software Foundation. And I wasn’t just someone who sat back and threw ‘em a few bucks every now and again. I was an associate member for a number of years and also volunteered to work their booths at various events (up to as far as five hours away) on my own time and at my own expense. I don’t write much code that’s released publicly, but I don’t foresee a time when I’ll be releasing anything under GPLv3.
GPLv2 FTW!
