Continued endorsement is here, as Palamida's latest report clearly indicates.

As of November 1st, 45 new GPL v3 projects have been added to our database, bringing our count to 1045 GPL v3 projects, as compared to last week's number of 1000 GPL v3 projects.

Good work, Ernest. There are those who get paid to blindly mock and dismiss the GPLv3, but there is also reality, which only volunteers, including the FSF, care to bring to light.
