The kernel license won't be changing anyway. It's too big a task to figure out. Plus if you want to change license and the new license doesn't contain protection against DRM abusers then I for one will be withholding my permission to change it until one is added, because the existing GPLv2 protection while unclear is there and remains to be litigated. Given there are people who hold the reverse true your lock detector should have spewed ... There are much more important things a GPL-next needs because of its use beyond software - protection against "design right" and "design patent" abuses. Without that the current habit of using the GPL for 3D print designs is potentially going to end in tears. The way to allow DRM abuse is to have a "lesser" license which allows abuse, just as with lesser licenses for linking.
