I don't see GPL dying, Linux is GPLv2 and Google uses it everwhere.
When I contribute to OSS (which I don't do frequently enough...) I feel certainly better if it's under GPL than a permissive license. Why should my voluntary work support a business model like Apple's? (Not that I like Google's business model either, but at least they play fair with GPLv2 AFAIK.)
