Submission + - GPL Use Declining Faster Than Ever (itworld.com) 3

Submitted by bonch
bonch writes: An analysis of software licenses shows usage of GPL and other copyleft licenses declining at an accelerating rate. In their place, developers are choosing permissive licenses such as BSD, MIT, and ASL.
