Linus on GPL3 In Forbes

musicon writes "In an interview via e-mail with Forbes, Torvalds discusses GPLv3, digital rights management and sharks with laser beams. From the article: 'I'm sure changes will be made [to GPLv3]. The fact that the FSF and I have some fundamentally different views of what the GPLv2 was all about makes me worry that we won't find a good agreement on the next version.'"

    If there's enough demand for hardware that does what you want, a company will step in and produce it. Let capitalism sort it out.
    The problem is that "capitalism" (as defined by modern America) will lead to the most powerful companies successfully lobbying to make producing such products illegal.
