It's a non-starter called GPL3. While I'm not a lawyer, my understanding is that many businesses consider the GPL3 and its extended anti-tivoization, anti-patent provisions dangerous.

They may be misguided, I won't comment on that here. I will just say that my impression is that such an anti-DRM clause exists, and the license that uses it has many detractors.

Was it tested in court in US ? Were some businesses sued for violation of a GPL3 license ? if yes by whom ? it's just a question.
