"Torvalds said the license is evolving in a way that pushes a moral
agenda instead of encouraging cooperation to create the best products in
a way that most participants will perceive as fair. 

	"The GPLv3 is designed to take the FSF back to its original "good old
	days," when "Free Software" was a war, and [Stallman] was its
	proselytizing general," he wrote. "But the fact is, it's not a war, and
	peaceful and happy co-existence is actually much preferable to moral
	jihads. And that's why I think the GPLv2 is much better. It allows us
	all to agree to just work together, without making it a religion."
