Every time someone has said something to the effect of "it'll never happen" it happens, and then some.
You need to understand how evil corporations work. They may be composed of perfectly reasonable people but, taken as a whole, they are literally psychopathic. It's not that they are "waiting" for something to be possible, it's just that at every step they will take anything and everything they can and give back as little as they possibly can.
Have you ever been in such a corporation and tried to say you should release source code when you don't have to? You'd be laughed out of the room.
Don't be fooled by companies like Microsoft taking part in "open source". They have simply calculated that right now it's advantageous for them to appear that way. But they are always taking the maximum and giving back the minimum, no matter what. We won't change this, but we can raise what that minimum is. That's why we have the GPL.
