One thing that made me wonder... The Linux kernel obviously has a number of contributors to it (not sure how many, I know it's a lot more than just Linus), so what about if the majority of those decide that they want to move their code to V3? Could Linus get outvoted? Could the kernel have a "dual" license with "Linus code" released under V2? Could the kernel split?
Whilst Linus is the tentative "leader" for the kernel, history shows that leaders who don't follow what the plebeian want get pushed to the wayside and let behind... (or get stabbed in the back by a bunch of their mates<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;)
