Tech Writers Spreading FUD About GPLv3

Tookis writes "Tech writers are spreading FUD about GPLv3 because they fear its take up will slow the adoption of Linux, according to this open source writer. "A large number of tech writers — I wouldn't call them journalists and sully my own profession — are fearful that the license will slow adoption of Linux in the workplace. And that would lead to a lessening of their own importance and influence."" So by posting this, am I spreading fud about spreading fud? I think I broke my brain.

Creating or describing?

Are the journalists creating fear, uncertainty and doubt out of whole cloth? Or are they merely describing the fear, uncertainty and doubt surrounding a new, untried license which hopes to replace an older version of itself. The GPLv3 is the modern Oedipus.
