"Balkanization is a geopolitical term originally used to describe the
process of fragmentation or division of a region into smaller regions
that are often hostile or non-cooperative with each other."
Quoted from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkanization

So i think they mean the fragmentation of Free Software license. But
this is nothing which will happen because of GPLv3. We already have a
fragmentation of Free Software licenses and GPLv3 will make it better
not worse because GPLv3 will be compatible to more licenses than GPLv2.

Cheers,
Bjoern
