I refuse to accept the conclusion that the GPL is anti-commercial or that it makes it more difficult to use code commercially. I think the companies who are indeed the vast majority, who think that the only way to commercialise software is to hide the source code and keep things secret are overall wrong. When none of Google, Microsoft, Apple, or Facebook actually originate code under the GPL, all this does is further this conclusion that seems so unquestionable to you that the GPL is anti-commercial or restrictive or just something to hesitate about. What the big guys do the little guys believe. We need more free software, and we need to defend the proliferation of free software, and we need to protest against those who work against free software, who control our search results and the ads shown to us and the information collected about us behind the veil of secret source code. I refuse to apologise for questioning Google's motives. Their GPL refusal, except when forced to, is not a good thing. If they wanted free software they would be doing things like pursuing the rampant GPL violations in Android devices or defending their copyleft against VMWare's attempts to circumvent Linux, not leave it to charities like SFC.
