Top developers of Linux critique GPLv3

Some top Linux developers are taking Linus Torvalds' side against supporting the new General Public License 3. The GPL is written by the Free Software Foundation's Richard Stallman and it applies to a huge range of open-source software, not just Linux. But the Linux programmers say that GPL 3 clauses related to rights management and patents are inferior to the current GPL 2 and could actually weaken, not strengthen, the open-source movement as a whole.
