Raised my concerns at several occasions. The most comprehensive is here: .fsf.europe.discussion/2006-03/msg00007.html It titled: Do Not Ask The Butcher To Protect The Lamb: And starts with: GPLv3 - Further Step Towards An Orwellian Society?: Remarks On Software Licensing. No-one should use a right against an other one, if he hadn't a harm caused by this violation, even if the other one violated his right. The reason is, that rights - and laws denying or granting them - are no values by them-self, but derived from the interest to live in peace and without harm. If there is no harm, you should not start a legal strive. Respectively: if there are big harms and some minor - to say mince - one, you should address the big harm, not the mince, not to lose your creditability. ....

OK. Did Dave tell you, which patch he is addressing as a violation? Hope people don't get frustrated and restrain from contributing. There are still some nice things to do for python-mode IMHO.
