> On paper the GPLv3 is awesome, but it adds some major restrictions that make it unappealing to corporations.
Oh, stop with the FUD. The only people GPLv3 is a problem for is proprietary software companies, and people who think they're in that business. Of course, on HN that's probably a lot of people's employers (mine, too), but let's not pretend that this extends to "corporations" generally.
Agreed. It's probably a slightly lower number now, but a few years ago 80% of all software written was custom in-house software where the choice of license is fairly moot since the GPL restrictions don't apply if you don't distribute your software.
