It's not about "screwing" anyone. It's about preventing users like you
and me from getting screwed. Besides, Linus doesn't want to adopt GPLv3
for the kernel but with the FSF controlling things like coreutils, it
could force Novell to fork those projects, from what I understand.
Interesting developments...
