1) we already know the kernel is apparently staying v2, although so far it appears to be the only thing.

2) Yes, Stallman would create new v3 versions of his ~5,000 software tools, and encourage the devs to use the new versions. The can use the v2 Linux kernel on their v3 anti-DRM frankenstein O/S without needing a different kernel, and the anti-DRM folks across the globe willl likely rush to using it just like some use the "all-free" Debian now.

Only up to the time that the v2 and v3 forks have diverged sufficently. If they functionally differ its more than likely the linux kernel will not work with gpl3.

Debian is a niche distribution... you continue to make my point that most of the folks running OSS aren't part of the Stallman groupie crowd.
