I'd be one of those not accepting of GPL 3, or it's variations. Google does not accept any GPL variants in Android officially, even though they rely on a few GPL parts for the base OS. Including the Linux kernel. For what it's worth, I think I found a GPL3 bit buried deep in the ewebkit dependencies, but I kinda gave up for now after I had gotten several levels deep in dependency hell. I think the plan with ewebkit is to strip out some more dependencies to replace them with EFL bits? That would help, but right now it's a bitch to compile on Ubuntu 10.04. I'll try again later, when there is less dependencies, or after I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 later this year. That's the danger with GPL 3 on huge projects. The main project might be BSD or something, but buried deep is a GPL 3 component of a sub component of a dependency that no one noticed. Likely coz it was GPL 2 when it went in. Then the entire thing is contaminated. FSF has been painting GPL 2 in a bad light, and swapping licenses on old versions of GNU stuff with out telling people. I think that's despicable. FSF may be good for their Four Freedoms, but they take away an important freedom with everything they touch. I have seen GPL stifling innovation in large projects. And this is precisely why, we may not use this new compression thing just coz we want EET to be BSD, and not be forced to make it GPL. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
