I was impressed in the sense that it was a hell of a lot better than the

disaster that were the earlier drafts.
I still think GPLv2 is simply the better license.
I consider dual-licensing unlikely (and technically quite hard), but at

least _possible_ in theory. I have yet to see any actual *reasons* for

licensing under the GPLv3, though. All I've heard are shrill voices about

"tivoization" (which I expressly think is ok) and panicked worries about

Novell-MS (which seems way overblown, and quite frankly, the argument

seems to not so much be about the Novell deal, as about an excuse to push

the GPLv3).
