The abundance of gpl code is largely due to it's catering to the culture of entitlement, it is what I call false altruism, where people will only help if they are getting something back. Similar to the way people don't donate blood in America without getting money for it.
The idea is that it gives greedy, selfish people what they want, a way that noone can use their stuff without giving them something while at the same time appearing to be a giving and good person.
