There's a strong willingness to adopt open source tools in every large company but GPL 3 is poisoning the well, and that's impeding universal adoption of the open source ecosystem. Sure FSF doesn't care, and that's unfortunate, because that stance is actually keeping proprietary enterprise software on life support. Unintended consequences I suppose.

Let me release a open source driver for hardware that you can't modify, and if you distribute it I will sue you for patent infringement. Since I have now donated to the open source ecosystem, I expect money, time and rewards to be sent to me for this great deed.
