One document on how GPLv3 tackles DRM, and one on how it tackles patent dangers. These topics have drawn the most public interest, so it seemed worthwhile to isolate the relevant information combining the draft, and the public comments of RMS and Eben Moglen.

FSFE have published documents about how the draft GPLv3 tackles DRM, and one about how it tackles patents. The documents combine the draft of GPLv3, and the transcripts of the opening presentation of GPLv3, by Eben Moglen, plus transcripts of RMS at FOSDEM and recently in Italy. The DRM bits of the licence are picked out, the comments specific to each change are lined up with them, and the same was done separately for patents. Since these are the two ares that have drawn the most public discussion, hopefully these shorter, focused docs'll be useful.
