The funny thing is that gpl is mostly used by per profit companies creating a two licensing system. Gpl is great to test drive before buying a commercial license, but other than it’s pretty much ignored except maybe in academia.

well, safari, chrome, osx, iphone, iPad, amazon, android, appletv, and a large number of routers and car systems all use gpl under that license singly. the fact that it's mostly due to linux and khtml seem unimportant when you say so much gpl is dual licensed ( all of those contain software that is gpl only) but, yes, dual licensing is popular too, ie the immense popularity of qt

Eh, what? Safari and Chrome are not GPL - they're Apple / Google freeware built on BSD and LGPL. OSX is proprietary based on BSD. Android is notable for refusing to include GPL components other than Linux. Not sure what you're trying to say here.
