What I think is "so what". Most of the software you use is probably open source. That's more than you'd code in your lifetime. So, what. GPL let you keep things in house if you don't distribute. Google does that all the time. A lot of their stuff isn't contributed back. And heck, it's a BAD thing, but they CAN do it. Yeah more permission just let companies make more money off free stuff; its only in some rare occasions that they truly contribute back, unless it's GPL and they're forced to use it because they distribute it (although many just go the illegal way) Now if you don't want GPL and no alternative that is free exists, well you know, code it yourself? Or are the people coding for free supposed to pay your lunch too?
