Their reactions offer some new perspectives and at least one possible sign of movement toward consensus. Together, they also highlight the issues that are likely to dominate discussion of the draft in the days to come.

It looks like a consensus may be reached after all. This will be a Good Thing (tm) for Linux and the free software/open source community.
Torvalds' comments will put a lot of people more at ease.
