Originally posted by zester View PostIts a matter of principle, after that FOSS developer was sued by the FSF for combining GPL2 and GPL3 code and refusing to re-license, I like many(Eben Moglen) have started distancing them self's from the FSF. You can hunt threw Rob Landley's blog to get specifics, if you wan't but needless to say I don't support any foundation that attacks there own or a license that hinders the advancement of Linux and our community(Blender/FBX/Nvidia)

Sued for combining GPLv2 and GPLv3? Well, serves them right. It's explicitly forbidden to do that, and for good reasons (GPLv3 fixes an important loophole, and those who use GPLv2 specifically due to the loophole don't deserve their code to be reused).
