I can't decide...I don't fully understand the opposition's opinion on the GPL.  What makes companies nervous about it?  How many of them need to do work that requires releasing source code?  There's already quite a bit of proprietary software for Linux and no source is needed.  I guess I'm missing something; what is it?
