Not sure that "copyleft" is confusing or falling into disuse, I hear people talking about it without confusion pretty often. First time I've heard "reciprocal licensing".

I think "copyleft" is ubiquitous within the tech crowd but the first time I heard the term I was confused. Might be worth asking a few people you know in the real world who are not tech people to see if they knew what either means.
The only people who know the term "copyleft" are already familiar with GNU, the FSF, and the free software movement. That is a tiny pool.
