Perhaps because the GPLv3 process needs action *NOW* to stop it becoming like WSIS-CS and so many other badly designed anti-democratic processes where voices are not heard. The process could be "captured" by a few special interests chosen by its leaders. Act now. Don't wait for news. I'm not saying that GPLv3 will be captured - it's too early to tell and there are still too many unknown variables - but the structure and the design of the process looks very vulnerable. Already, a pro-corporation bias is showing, with business getting a mention apart from community in the goals given by the last news release: why is business not part of the community? Where are the community spokespeople in the news release? How/why are corporate counsels getting access before developers? Please express your concerns now and call for FSF to make this process open, fair and responsible. We don't need another FDL-like trade of freedom for corporate happiness.
