Should Developers Switch to GPLv3?

Isaac IANAL asks: "Victor Loh of ExtremeTech writes about the General Public License version 3's clause, which requires releasing digital signature keys — in other words, the software should be able to retain interoperability when modified. The article raises an objection, citing Linus Torvalds, that the so-called TiVoisation clause would inhibit open-source adoption in embedded devices among entities such as governments, health care providers, and finance firms. The issue has been discussed on Slashdot many times before. If you're a developer for a platform that needs to run signed code, could you use software under the GPLv3, or does the GPLv3 (at its current, unreleased state) truly inhibit your control as a developer over your device?"

Whole story -1 flamebait. There is no GPLv3 yet.

The GPLv3 is still in draft. Nobody can choose it yet.

The question is troll/flamebait.

Or to quote the Magic 8-Ball: "Ask again later" -- like in 6 months or so.
