I'm reading it right now. I'll let you know in about an hour if I'll be replacing the v2 printout I have tacked to my wall with v3 or not. :)

More like I realized my computer science project wasn't done. It's due at 11pm, and it's 10:07 now. >.<

GPL3 prevents two dangers from infiltrating Free Software: Patents and Tivoization.
Patents: A user of GPL'ed software cannot sue other users of GPL software for patent infringement, or his rights to use it are elliminated.
Tivoization: GPL'ed Software cannot be locked down with DRM or the-like to prevent you from modifying it.
More info can be read at fsf.org :)
