It's not really about "proprietary vs. free software", it whether the FSF and GNU are still a driving force for Free Software. And to me this seems ... not really? They're still trying to create their anno-1985 Unix replacement. That's great and all, but also not really driving anything forward.

I see copy-left as a form of hacker activism, and this getting less. I'm quite sure it's not a good thing. FLOSS has been commencialized. I prefer AGPL for the simple reason big corps avoid it like the plague.
