I agree, so let's start at home.
No embedded engineer who values his job will touch a GPL piece of code
with a 10 foot pole. Period.
A good embedded engineer will use Linux only under duress. And that
will be the only GPL code he will use.
Anyway, the largest generator of dollars in the free software world is
the Linux kernel, and that is GPL. So economics suggest GPL is the way
to go.
Please note that the Linux kernel explicitly restricts you to GPLv2
*ONLY* because they don't like some of the sharing requirements of GPLv3.
You might want to try to convince the Linux folks to move to GPLv3
before preaching the GPL sharing gospel to others. Mysteriously, they
don't seem particularly enlightened about it.
It is, after all, easier to preach to the converted, right?
Oh, don't mind the laughter. We're laughing *with* you.
