You are essentially talking about various effects associated with choice of the GNU GPL license. I agree with you on that. It is a useful tool.

My point was that the social movement for software freedom is not going anywhere. These are two different things.

According to Stallman, using GPL helps to achieve "software freedom". But many people use it as a tool for achieving their own (project, community, commercial, etc) goals and don't care about Stallman's social movement. See Linus Torvalds for example.
