Please explain. As I understand it, the only thing lost to developers in using 
the GPL is
the freedom to hide the source code for the applications they distribute and 
thereby to
prevent their users from carrying on with the development. We have seen many 
great
products killed for various business reasons and we have faced a number of 
difficult
transitions and seen many more due to organizations having become operationally 
dependent
on software that is no longer supported and can't be updated.
