Google put $5.6 million into this year's Summer of Code.  Red Hat just
reported $500 million quarterly profits, and they make plenty of GPLd
software.  IBM makes GPLd code.  Sun makes GPLd code, and god knows
they're even stodgier than IBM these days.

I don't see how the GPL is discouraging business from producing
software, and I don't see how we should care if it is.
