[Fsfe-ie] Dodgy InformationWeek article about GPLv3

[Ciaran O'Riordan]

InformationWeek recently wrote a dodgy article about GPLv3, and it was
featured on Slashdot.

I guess after the GPLv3 release, journalists were on the edge of their seats
waiting for a controversial quote from Linus.  InformationWeek finally
couldn't wait any longer, so they made some up.  Well, like the best lies,
their quotes are based on a grain of truth.  Torvalds did say those words,
he just wasn't talking about FSF at the time, and the time was a month ago,
not after GPLv3 was released as the article implied.

I put this in a blog entry:

Which people seem to have liked.  It even made front page of digg:
