The published a photo without having permissions and despite of addressing the problem by email, the photo owner fired off a DMCA takedown notice. It isn't amazing how fast works justice depending on the subject? "So our entire site would have been closed for business, all because of one photograph — admittedly not ours to republish. This did not strike us an entirely proportionate response, and it brought home to us how easy it is to use the DMCA to ambush websites housed in the US or hosted overseas by companies headquartered in the US. We are considering our options for ensuring that we do not face such a situation again""

"The three key objections noted in section 5 are individually and collectively sufficient reason for us to reject the current licence proposal" [...] "we foresee the release of GPLv3 portends the Balkanisation of the entire Open Source Universe upon which we rely". They've also run a GPLv3 poll"
