While I'm certainly no expert on this, I get the impression that GPL 3
goes too far and is starting to impose restrictions that may be harmful
to Linux.  As for RMS, while he certainly has a lot to take credit for,
I suspect he may be too much of a "fundamentalist" for the good of open
source software.
