And if someone does not agree to GPLv3 becomes crook!.

If u dont agree with v3 roll your own and release under v2. However if i write something under v3 everone HAS to accept cause i own the copyrights

you seem to be unaware that the gpl (any version) represents only a small subset of licenses available. In fact, as of now, the most popular license appears to be the Mozilla Public License. Further, i just went through the draft of v3 - it is a nightmare. If adopted by anyone, it is going to cause endless confusion. V2, on the other hand was a model of simplicity compared to this. Compare the gpl to creative commons licences and you will understand the difference. Or compare it to the MPL.
