Brett Smith of the Free Software Foundation has just published "A Quick Guide to GPLv3" on the FSF website. You can find it here: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

It's not very long and gives a good description of the FSF's rational for pursuing the changes they sought in the GPLv3 from the GPLv2.
