@Richard Fontana, regarding that corporate lawyer: you know who it is.

Regarding RTL Exception, I have clear email evidence that the discussion about doing the RTL idea began in November 2004. It appears all relevant parties were in agreement with the idea by Feb. 2005, David Edelsohn continually raised the issue from the on. At that point, everyone but David began ignoring the issue until GPLv3 was done.

I include myself in that in the sense that while I voiced my agreement with David clearly to all involved, I was, as you know, constantly "cut out" of discussions about GPLv3 and so my voice wasn't heard and I regret not making it my top priority to insist on being more involved in GPLv3 and thus raising this and other issues (like importance of Affero clause) more directly with the GPLv3 Drafting Cabal.
