A rant of my own:

The push against the GPL is mostly by those who want free 
software to mean "free labor". GPL software can be dual licensed. 
Companies can pay for an alternative licensing arrangement if 
it's that valuable to them. Instead they want "free" software 
that allows them to avoid payment while imposing restrictions on 
how others use the software.
