Here's a history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft#Viral_licensing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft#Viral_licensing FYI: The Linux kernel is GPL, and is used on most cell phones, routers, and a huge number of other embedded devices. It powers most of the servers on the internet too. It's simply not the case that it has been any hindrance to commercial use. You should reconsider some of your comments. You equate GPL with non-commercial. I've built software under GPL-style licenses which has generated hundreds of millions of dollars of commercial value. It limits some modes of commercialization, but this is one of the places your thinking is confused.
