Probably more interesting are comparisons between GPL v2 and v3 and 
concerns voiced by Linux developers.

E.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License and 
http://lwn.net/Articles/200422/.

I am not a lawyer .. I have an opinion but it is probably better to leave 
comments to people with better understanding of legal issues.
