I meant: (http://www.fsf.org/news/gpl3.html)

----
The GPL is the Literary Work of Richard M. Stallman

Some copyright licenses are no doubt known, in the restricted circle of 
one firm or law office, as the achievement of a single author's acumen 
or insight. But it is safe to say that there is no other copyright 
license in the world that is so strongly identified with the achievements, 
and the philosophy, of a single public figure. Mr. Stallman remains the 
GPL's author, with as much right to preserve its integrity as a work 
representative of his intentions as any other author or creator. Under 
his guidance, the Free Software Foundation, which holds the copyright 
of the GPL, will coordinate and direct the process of its modification.

So I gather that GPLv3 will create an even bigger disaster. Well, on 
the other hand I can kind of understand.. swan song and all that.
