Just by reading the first paragraph I can see how unbiased this article will be.

The gplv3 has been an utter failure. Trying to rewrite history so the gplv2 works like the gplv3 is pathetic and will be the last nail in the coffin of the GPL.

I doubt it. There is no way I'm releasing valuable FOSS software as anything less restrictive than GPL. No feeding the corporate behemoths.

The article makes it clear that this is always how GPLv2 has worked and been enforced in entire history of its existence.
