Anyway... or BTW...

I haven't been keeping up.  What's happening with GPL 3?  Has it been
finished and released?  What's the uptake like?  Have the developers been
staying away in droves, as some of the more cynical commentators round here
predicted?  Or has it been widely embraced by all and sundry as the
manifesto for the future of the software industry?

(This isn't a troll.  I really don't know the answer.  And I figured some of
you lot would enjoy answering me.)
