>not just morally, but functionally

openbsd and freebsd had their codes contribution back from google, netflix and whatever organizations that believed BSD codes helped their business not because license makes them but because their operation benefits from improvement and continuation of such projects.

> make GPL dangerous for a company to touch

it is meant to have consequences if someone deliberately violates terms of license. You think RMS is just masturbating with his never-ending correction of GPL. Whoever uses GPL is essentially delegating their rights to FSF for more systematic enforcement (that is, monetary backup incase you want to sue someone for not giving back the code).

GPL was bullshit and always will be bullshit just like any other software licenses because our law system is not really tailored for IT sector. Is API copyrightable or not, oracle lawsuit and vmware lawsuit will decide.

> it must be gauged by the nature of the software which is appropriate

sure, no single organization can hire entire developers of operating system right? Or maybe FSF guys are just unpaid interns of intel.
