Peter is right.
Apache is a 'cult'.
Apache Foundation Co-Founder Likes GPLv3

Novell is 'cult'.

Google...? Yup, you've guessed it right. It's a cult.

Oh, and Linux is very business-oriented, so no Linux guru could ever accept the
GPLv3. Right?

Apache finally finds a licence that's compatible. It should be happy.
Apache, GPL License Compatibility Back On Track
,----[ Quote ]
| GPL 3 is now on track to be finalized in August. Its adoption will be
| a major milestone in the open-source industry and will force developers
| of GPL-licensed software to make choices about migrating to the new
| license or contributing to a potential schism between version 2 and
| version 3 software.

Peter said that "A *lot* of OSS developers are sternly against the GPL3". Is
that right?
OpenLogic survey warm on GPL 3
