I cannot see why Linus would like to tie his hands with a draft-
And suppose the DRM part become part of the law (in the USA) or nastily put into the hardware.
Also could Linus having accepted GPL 3 make any amendments to it in the future.
What if Linus just accepts GPL 3 and pulls out the problematic parts and calls it GPL 2.75. (possible or not).

I remember that Linus once when the estimate for version 2.6 turned out to be much to optimistic, said "lets avoid embarassing mistakes and errors".
Perhaps a good thing to consider.

Cox said:
"But it does get harder to improve Linux as it gets better."

I think it also gets harder to improve the GPL for Linux when Linux has got much "bigger".
