No, I was taking the line "Some key contributors are grumbling over this change and have privately discussed a fork to stay as GPL v2." from the article summary at face value. Perhaps not a vice choice here on Slashdot.

How does making a license freely available for software authors to use translate into "shoveling [sic] GPL3 down our throats"?
It doesn't, because that is not what this is about. This is about the FSF moving the gcc code base to GPL3 against the wishes of a number of developers and contributers.
Actually, these are honey badgers. They kill lions by ripping off their balls and making them bleed to death. They'll eat an entire platoon of heavily armed soldiers just for fun.
There have, however, been countless posts about how the PS3 will "do well in Japan anyway".
Of course, none of the people making those posts had any clue about the Japanese market in the first place, and were just parroting something they'd heard on the internet.
Meanwhile, the Japanese were making fun of the price just as much as us westerners, if not more so. More hilariously, at least.
Or maybe it's a badly designed mess of code in a very difficult field, and those few who have the skill to develop it don't want to touch it with a ten-feet pole, and would require large sums of money to be presuaded to work on it, while the userbase is large but doesn't have the resource to work on it?
That's funny - I'm from Finland, and Gatorade was only just recently introduced here, and it's certainly marketed as a sports drink, and it does work pretty well as such. Is the composition any different, I wonder?
It's water and electrolytes to replace what you lose when you sweat. The name makes a lot more sense considering this, and also considering that Japanese people don't really understand English all that well. They, like many other nationalities, just think it sounds cool.

Who is favouring a switch to GPL V. 3 and why?

That wouldn't be so bad, if the first sentence had an actual subject.
Unless the subject is some kind of outfit named "On Thursday".
Or you could just not use BBcode and just validate the HTML when it is posted.
Or simpler than wow!, even.
Remind me again why [b]wow![/b] is simpler than wow!?
You're a Luddite. And although you might lack it, the rest of the world do have that exact science that you never heard of.
Oh, it's perfectly safe as long as you keep the crypto algorithm secret!

Slashdot: News for anti-intellectuals, stuff that confuses us.
Yeah, damn him for not giving us all his time and effort for free!

Meanwhile, the developers would prefer to just write some cool code instead of documenting everything. They're doing it as a hobby, after all.
Learned their lesson indeed. With the entire internet mocking the name, it's outselling everything else.
I've only seen orange and lemon/lime, I think.
So in your world, web browser vulnerabilities are only allowed to be published in print?

It's not a soft drink. As the above poster points out, it's supposed to be drank while dehydrated. It does taste a lot better then.

I'm not going to refute that, but I will say that it is possible to be both a hipster and correct.
They're not gonna go bankrupt from having to hire a bunch of people to check through their ads before running them, man.
Sorry, I quite like TPB. It's just that I hold my friends to higher standards than others, and they really are failing to live up here.
Sorry, that's radon. Different stuff. People weren't too creative when they started naming this stuff.
