> I think GPLv2 was the better decision for the Linux kernel than, say, BSD/MIT.

I differ here. The reason why the corporations run Linux Foundation which pays Linus is cos of this license. Otherwise, they would take what they want and not interfere like they do with FreeBSD and OpenBSD. BSD/MIT leads to better compliance.

The only reason it stays this way is cos Linus owns the trademark. Wait until Linus steps down. Most likely a someone who aligns more with corporates will take charge and you'll see changes then.
