I think if your adopting GPLv3 just to increase participation its a bad idea.  
I don't think you need to pander to some group to gain popularity.   Most 
people here(from the responses i've read) seem quite happy with the current 
license.  I'm quite suprised that some think the community isn't  growing fast 
enough.  It certainly is active and at least your attracting the right people.  
Everytime i've read a discussion on the GPL, i'm left wondering whether its a 
license or a cult.  Maybe it just has a LOT of really poor representatives. Of 
course I might be hanging out in the wrong places. It also appears that to draw 
those people in, you'd also need to adopt a new name- linux.
