Large corporations like the hate on the #GPL even though it has brought them big benefits. #Linux would be nowhere near what it is without the GPL. I always saw #Google's #Fuchsia kernel as their effort to get out of the GPL, since it would replace the Linux kernel. There was even media hype to that effect. Now I'm happy to see that Google is no longer supporting #Chrome on Fuchsia. I see this as a win for #FreeSoftware

In my experience it's mostly GPLv3 that's a problem, GPLv2 has been OK everywhere I've worked thus far
@kiri @fvbever The #GPL is fundamentally about #UserFreedom. When #Android started, #Google recognized they could sell it better if it was Free Software because want free software and related freedoms. That led to Android becoming the largest OS in use today. Now Google has #monopoly power. They have a clear track record of reducing user freedom in Android, and moving to a kernel without the GPL would give Google more power over users and the market.
