Current version of GPL is an absolute no go for many larger places - even Ubuntu ended up dropping it for parts of stack - risks are way too high

"even" Ubuntu? Are you implying that Canonical are some kind of champion of free software?

Yes - they ship open source and are generally more comfortable with open source licensing because they have much more experience with it.

Expecting an entertainment industry org (which were specially attacked in latest version of GPL around DRM) to be comfortable seems far fetched.
