Well, given that I oppose copyright, I support the GPL -- exactly because it uses copyright restrictions to neutralize copyright restrictions.
In other words, the only restrictions placed by the GPL are those that restrict use of copyright -- and I definitely support those.
Apache and BSD licenses are basically only anti-plagiarizing, afaik.
How would companies profit from a work that everyone can freely copy, in a way that does not add value to society and indeed to the original author?
