Titel: Torvalds vs. GPL v3 on Groklaw
Look in the comments section of this story, "Second Discussion Draft of GPLv3 Released." (Set comments to Nested, hit Refresh, and search on "Linus".)

Short version: The kernel will most likely stay under v2 of the GNU GPL. Torvalds doesn't like the anti-DRM provisions of v3 and thinks that a) it's a security risk and b) it's trying to extend a license that currently only covers software, to the hardware it runs on. (Plus, he swears too much for PJ's taste.)
