Linux Leader Takes Aim At Free Software Movement

<quote>
Torvalds said the license is evolving in a way that pushes a moral agenda 
instead of encouraging cooperation to create the best products in a way that 
most participants will perceive as fair.
"The GPLv3 is designed to take the FSF back to its original "good old days," 
when "Free Software" was a war, and [Stallman] was its proselytizing general," 
he wrote. "But the fact is, it's not a war, and peaceful and happy co-existence 
is actually much preferable to moral jihads. And that's why I think the GPLv2 is 
much better. It allows us all to agree to just work together, without making it 
a religion."
