Whenever this topic arises I feel apathy. There are plenty of OSS licences to choose from; this is much ado about nothing.

The largest problem with the GPLv2 in my opinion is that it mixes up the legal with philosophy too much. Perhaps they should have cut it into two parts: the actual legalese, and a separate document that explains what it all means.

I like the LGPL and MIT licences a fair bit.
