With the lack of the DGPL, currently there may be people using GPL developer tools creating proprietary software, as well as may have happened with webserver software before the AGPL existed. So this license is not advocating the use of prorietary software (the dual license with the DGPL is just a new possibility that would allow current proprietary-developments to switch to an opensource license). > Also, the C in FSFC stands for Canada.
