I think long-term GPL days are numbered. Corporations are going to see that the code is not worth the politics. Take a look at GCC and the whole debate about exporting an AST. Once there was a suitable alternative (clang) with a more liberal license, companies flocked to it, and clang is now eating GCC's lunch. One can speculate what would happen if Apple really decided to push the BSD kernel like they did clang. I suspect, that a lot of companies doing Linux development, would start contributing to that BSD once it had reached a certain level of parity with Linux.
