I've been watching Palamida's tracking of GPLv3 (and LGPLv3) adoption over the last year with interest. It looks like adoption is moving at a reasonable, if not super-speedy, pace. However, not everyone is moving from version 2 to version 3. One company, Likewise, actually decided to move backwards from GPLv3...

Can Linux beat the bloat

I think the whole "bloated" thing is hogwash.There's no such thing.Neither Windows nor Linux are "bloated". Nor is OS/X. You want functionality you have to pay for it. One man's lean and mean is another man's anemic.Functionality simply isn't free.How many lines of code did USB take? How about multi-threading?...
