"Further, since the FSF is proposing to shift all of its projects to GPLv3 and apply pressure to every other GPL licensed project to move, we foresee the release of GPLv3 portends the Balkanisation of the entire Open Source Universe upon which we rely. This Balkanisation, which will be manifested by distributions being forced to fork various packages in order to get consistent licences, has the potential to inflict massive collateral damage upon our entire ecosystem and jeopardise the very utility and survival of Open Source. Since we can see nothing of sufficient value in the current drafts of the GPLv3 to justify this terrible cost, we can only assume the FSF is unaware of the current potential for disaster of the course on which is has embarked. Therefore, we implore the FSF to re-examine the consequences of its actions and to abandon the current GPLv3 process before it becomes too late."
Ils se montrent contre soutenant que les distribs menacent de forker les logiciels qui passeraient en v3. Ben, c'est leur problème. Si la survie de "l'open source" se mets en danger à cause de quelques logiciels (c'est pas comme s'ils allaient tous y passer) en gpl v3, ça signifirait juste que l'open source n'est pas un bon modèle économique et basta.
