It allows people (in this case, corporations) to keep their code
fixes and good ideas to themselves. Thus, the Unix Vendors fight
amongst themselves, claiming that Unix & C are portable, while
anyone who's tried to port from SunOS to OSF/1 quickly put lie to
that myth.
OTOH, while the GPL allows projects to fork, it makes available the
source code, so everyone gets the benefits of everyone else's hard
work. (Which is why the hardware and middleware vendors *love*
Linux, but no Linux vendor will ever be nearly as wealthy as MSFT.)
