The perverse incentive of scaring people about the license only really works if the license is hard to parse or the sales team is really unethical. Unfortunately that has proved the case when firms choose a GPL and hire the wrong people. If the license is straightforward enough, or comes from a neutral organization that publishes trustworthy lay summaries, as Creative Commons does, there's less room for sales incentives to run wild. The usual conflicts of interest in other business models, like holding back code or doc, making the software hard to use, and so on break down, because there's just one product. Customers pay to use the product.
