BSD is also available to all, and it uses the BSD license.
The GPL is an interesting thought experiment but honestly I don't think it makes much difference these days. Apache seems to be the license that won over corporate America, and people are getting a lot of benefit from those projects. (Meanwhile, the cloud happened and no software licenses were ready for "AWS decided to run your thing for money and not pay you for writing the thing".)
- m463 5y agoI wonder how many BSD enhancements have disappeared into corporate source trees because of "fork and close". (not that the linux kernel has necessarily benefitted from every corporate tarball downloadable from their website)
