Slashdot fortells the future of the GPL

From Tony Healy, a link to an interesting post on Slashdot:

The FSF should realize by now their influence is waning. Look at the plethora of alternative licenses. Now they're really hamstringing themselves with Version 3, taking the license further and further from where industry developers are heading... Do (developers) care when Eben Moglen says "the time is rapidly approaching when the GPL is capable of leveling the monopolist to the ground?" Developers demand more freedom, not less. They want clear, practical leadership, not bombast.
