The hype, no thanks to FOX and those Dane Cook promos, has reached a fever pitch (pun intended). The GPL, on the other hand, saw above average adoption rates among open source developers and their projects.

At this rate, GPLv3 will become a reality to accept and for businesses to prepare for. The high transition pace has been maintained, just as hoped and expected by those who were not drinking the Kool-Aid (disinformation [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).

Bob Young talks about the GPLv3 in the following new video.

The GPLv3 is not only important because of Novell, but also because of the increasingly-relevant patent battle. The new licence addresses a number of new important issuesl, but like all changes, it is received with hesitance and endless FUD from those whom it hurts the most, notably proprietary software vendors and predatory/anti-consumer monopolies.
