Maybe what the kernel developers have said about it?

You mean other than Linus (who, by the way, is now "pretty pleased" about the newest draft because his concerns were addressed)? Cite sources like I just did.

Maybe MySQL's abstinence from adopting it?

That's better. Actually mentioning "MySQL" was enough to lead me to this, which does back up your claim. You should note, however, that according to that article MySQL doesn't actually have any particular philosophical disagreement with the GPLv3 itself.

Maybe the fact that I haven't read about or heard of anyone who works with Linux commercially in any way who wants to touch it with an 18 foot pole, but I in fact have read large amounts about companies saying exactly the opposite?

Which companies?

Again, I don't say what you want to hear, and I don't support the standard groupthink, so I'm a troll, I'm on your foes list, and it is insisted that I shut the fuck up.

No, you failed to back up your claim, which is the hallmark of a troll (along with insulting your audience, which you also did -- and which you failed to acknowledge now). That's why you got put on my "foes" list, and that's why I told you to "shut the fuck up" -- it seemed very unlikely that you had anything constructive to say, because you presented yourself so poorly.

You said you don't see a lot in support of my argument; I'm seeing that the only thing you really have in support of yours is your attempt to silence me.

What argument am I trying to support? If you re-read what I wrote, you'll see that I never actually disputed the truthfulness of your claim; the only argument I'm trying to make is that your failure to provide any basis for it (not to mention your confrontational attitude) isn't useful.
