My experience so far is similar to Tim's: Len seems to be far more flexible and open to alternative viewpoints than PJ ever was, and PJ seems out of the loop with these decisions, which I regard as good news given the Closed, unlinkable Police State that is Groklaw.
The current state of affairs from thismorning is that he seems to realise that the choice of comment licensing is an important issue, and says he has mailed Lessig and Perens to canvass their opinions. I seriously doubt they will come back suggesting banning "deep linking" and that an exclusive license to reproduce comments only at one site is better than CCL'ing comments as is done here, especially since Lessig is strongly associated with Copyleft... but we must see what they have to say.
