@Wojciech GNU General Public License (GPLv2) is a free software license. You may be frustrated but GPL has consistently delivered !

Your choice of biased words is matched by your lack of understanding of co-opetition in technology markets, Linux kernel being the exemplar.

NetBSD project was pressured by Wasabi. FreeBSD project was pressured by Juniper (as you write) and many other corps. LLVM-CLang was alll pumped up by Apple etc. Does that mean when waved dollars each project becomes a dancing queen (aka exploited) ?
