It appears to me that this is part of the open-source paleoanarchists' strategy to scuttle any attempt to make linux a profitable business tool. These nutz despise capitalism with every black twitching fiber of their malignant marxist hearts.

This will end up crippling RMS, there is more than enough community support to back a GPL2 fork of all the tools out there. In the end if Linus still hates the GPL3 Linux will stay GPL2 and RPM will prove other than being a loud voice he has little influence in the OSS community anymore.
