You missed the whole part where he talked about how basically no one or two people will decide what will be in GPLv3. A lot of people are going around saying stuff like "I am going to make sure this isn't possible under GPLv3" but those folks don't get to dictate what the final draft will look like. Companies like Novell and HP will have a lot of input. If Novell, Sun, HP, and IBM etc...all refuse to back GPLv3 it won't be worth anything considering a large share of these projects we are talking about are maintained by paid engineers from these companies. Linux made a deal with the devil a long time ago when it allowed these companies to become so entrenched in the community. The devil is just calling the debt due. People like Linus recognize this, why do you think he has been so quiet on the subject?
