I share the same point of view now. Especially after now 4 years in the software industry. The quantity of ope source software used is huge. But none of the money goes back to the authors.
Companies have two choices : avoid GPL like pest or embrace it.
We (I, mostly) contribute back to open source at work. The only problem that is not solved yet is should we use GPL-3 code, because we sign software and there is the Tivoïzation clause.
I still continue to release my (Rust) libraries with Apache-2.0/MIT. Because of static linking almost imposed by the current Rust development workflow. LGPL would contaminate the whole software if statically linked. Or make people link to it dynamically. Maybe this is not my problem but the companies'. Should we push for GPL libraries?
