mail lists will do in response to that argument? I personally don't like or use the GPL, so I really don't care. But ISTM that those who have argued so fervently in favor of the GPL here should either call for Linus to put Linux under GPL, abandon Linux and go with the FSF kernel, or stop ranting against others who don't like the GPL.
Linux *is* under the GPL. But it's under GPL v2. The FSF is pushing hard for Linus to relicense it under GPL v3. The two licenses are not considered compatible.
