This is the real reason why FAANGs push for non-GPL licenses.
GPL's end goal is to build a community where developers, testers, power users and regular users connect with each other and share knowledge, not just code.
FAANGs want to wedge themselves as the middleman between developers and end users. They view such community as a threat.
