A good start (particularly when you want to know how it affects Debian)
would be the debian-legal mailing list, who have just started discussing
the latest draft. Have a look in the archives to find discussions about
previous drafts, the current thread is at 

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/04/msg00001.html

These are mainly 'is it DFSG free' comments, but that should answer some
of the questions people have.
