I'm not writing a kernel. The fact remains that if I use the GPL, people will tell me that they can't use it because their legal department forbids it. Alternatively, using it requires approval from their legal team and that requires enough effort not to use my code.
This isn't some theory that you can weasel your way out of using examples. It's based on real experiences I've had.
