Informationweek yritti saada tietoa kahdelta keskeisimmältä GPLv3:n tekijältä / johtajalta,
mutta Informationweek:n toimittajalle/journalistille annettiin ehtoja ennenkuin tietoja voitaisiin antaa.
Ehdot olivat sellaisia, joihin journalisti ei voinut suostua.
Aikamoista lehdistönvapauden, ja sananvapauden, kieltämistä!
Linux:ia ei saisi kutsua Linux:ksi!!
Tässä journalistin tekemä juttu asiasta,
ja pari lainausta siitä:

"In Search Of GPL Version 3: The Long Road To Nowhere"
Stallman cited this line back to me. "By calling the system 'Linux,' you give the main credit to a subsequent, secondary contributor, and presenting it as his work. To say that this system 'owes a debt' to its principal developer is not sufficient to overcome the unfairness of that overall picture," he wrote back.
You can publish whatever you wish, he concluded, but "I decline to help you do it."
For the record, in addition to referring to Linux as just plain ol' Linux, I had also refused to promise to always refer to Linux as Gnu/Linux.

Although Eben would ordinarily be happy to talk to you, Richard Stallman has instructed him not to… We must honor our client's request.

Typerä vuodatus Stallmanilta. Toi johtunee hyvin pitkälti siitä, että Linus on haukkunut GPLv3:n ja sanonut ettei kerneli tule siitymään GPL versiosta 2 versioon 3. Eli tuossa kyse on ennemminkin Stallmanin yrityksestä potkasta Linusia.
Voisit kuitenkin hiukan ensin ymmärtää asiat ennekuin alat vaahdota. Ei tuosa nyt mistään lehdistönvapauden rajottamisesta ollut kyse. Kys on ennemminkin valtataistelusta ja siitä kenelle kunnia kuuluu.
