That's BSD-license though, which doesn't force companies to respect your freedoms. Parent was talking exactly about GPL being dropped in favour of licenses that allow vendor lock-in. It means a philosophical departure from user-first towards corporation-first and the Free Software world the FSF envisioned getting trampled.
The zeitgeist is moving towards conservatism in general, so it doesn't surprise me, but it's still sad.
