A big one of those concerns is the way it combines barely-related topics of copyright and patents into one licence. The FSF has been warning for years against 'Intellectual Property' confusion, so it is surprising to see the GPL becoming more of an IP licence, helping to spread software patent licensing into swpat-free jurisdictions. Will they stop that? In practical terms, it seems to be combined copyright-trademark licences that cause more problems for debian and GPL is no worse in that way. While I'm writing anyway: > 2.
