ROFL, as usual, you couldn't be any more wrong.

ROFL, as usual, you say I'm wrong and post something showing I'm right. Linus apparently is pleased with the direction the drafts are going, but notice he still says about the TiVo clause "The 'we control not just the software, but also the hardware it runs on' parts still drive me up the wall..."

Looks like I was right. Overall it's better, but he still doesn't like that provision I was referring to.

This also goes prefectly with your "180" claim. Back then he said, as quoted in this article, "Hell no" to that GPL3 draft, but said he could possibly accept a later draft if it addressed his concerns. This disproves your "180" claim back then, as the GPL3 is progressing towards Torvalds' wishes and not the other way around. Stallman is a whacko, but he's not stupid, and wouldn't want the shining star of open source to reject his license.

You're fooling no one, this soap opera is just another pathetic example of leftists attempting to trick the idiotic. In the end Stallman and Torvalds both believe in copyleft and want to do away with software patents since they infringe on the property rights of so many others, just as you do. The rest is just a charade to hide from the facts.
