There's a lot of complicated wording changes from the first draft
of the GPL v.3.
You know where to leave your comments (http://gplv3.fsf.org/) --
but if there are any DFSG-freeness issues in the new drafts, please
bring them up here as well so we can try to hash out whether they
really are.
Note that the fact that that DFSG 10 may make GPLv3 free regardless
of other violations, because "GPL" is used without version
information.
That interpretation would be *very* distasteful to me. My
interpretation is that it refers to the version of the GPL that was
current at time the text was written, or possibly also all past
versions. If version 10 of the GNU GPL discriminates against employees
of ${COMPANY}, it is non-DFSG free. If your interpretation were
common, I would propose an amendment to clarify it.
