I cannot resist the urge to point out that we wouldn't have had this problem if people actually sticked to free software instead of "commercial use friendly" open source licensing

In practice we see the reverse and GPL projects being rewritten as more permissive.

The busybox/toybox case looks especially relevant and interesting:

> In January 2012 the proposal of creating a BSD license alternative to the GPL licensed BusyBox project drew harsh criticism (…). Rob Landley, who had started the BusyBox-based lawsuits, responded that this was intentional, explaining that the lawsuits had not benefited the project but that they had led to corporate avoidance, expressing a desire to stop the lawsuits "in whatever way I see fit".
