"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."
