Agreed - if you want to take my work you are welcome as long as you contribute back your changes. That's the deal that GPL2 enforces and why it has been so successful. GPL3 is a very different beast with a much wider agenda, which makes it far more difficult to achieve consensus on what it should contain.
Personally I would have liked to seen a GPL2.x which fixes some of the issues but stays true to the more limited objective.
