Something interesting; the only company attacking the GPL is
Microsoft. This doesn't mean it's the only company that is being hurt
though: while IBM, HP, SGI and the others are not attacking it, are
pretty silent considering they have invested on Linux projects.
The truth is the GPL is not a good business, but Microsoft is the only
company doing real profits anyway.
