trying to get somebody to tell me where I was wrong.

The GPL is the FSF's, true.

The software is not.

I think v3 is a disaster that will wreck what could be a revolution in software development; and software has never been more important than it is now. If I can't sway the FSF (and you're right, I think I'd have more luck trying to talk the Hubble back into orbit), then I'll take my misgivings to forums, hoping to reach developers. If they all say "fuck you, and fuck business", then the code base will split, one for business, one for the FSF disciples, and the FSF will deserve both obscurity and curses.

I truly hope my paramism (pessanoia?) is misplaced, but I don't think so.
