Linus ‘pretty pleased’ with latest GPL3 draft

I love the practical side of Linus, couldn’t ask for a better person to be at the center ring of the Linux community.

“I’m actually pretty pleased. Not because I think it’s perfect, but simply because I think it’s certainly a lot better than I really expected from the previous drafts,” he said in an interview. “Whether it’s actually a better license than the GPLv2, I’m still a bit skeptical, but at least it’s now ‘I’m skeptical’ rather than ‘Hell no!’”
