The entire point of the GPL is to say 'if you want to take you also have to give back', whereas the permissive licenses say 'take all of my hard work and run with it.' It's like the difference between being a swinger 'I'll let you fuck my wife if you let me fuck you wife' and being a cuck 'I-it's OK, it's not like I needed sex anyway.

Apple and Juniper contribute a lot to FreeBSD. It's their interest. No industry is going to use GPL code, it lacks the freedom to make money off of it. GPL is for procedural zealots, their license is longer than the Talmud and the California Penal Code combined.
MIT/BSD Chads with a great soul: do what you want, your freedom to use my code is unrestricted. The license text is so tiny it could be tattooed on a Japanese dick and a child would be able to understand it. Niggardly GPL virgins: you can't use my code unless you make me your heir as per article 167.2 paragraph 4 and you're also legally tied to suck my dick at any moment as per article 2132.4 paragraph 12. Any line of code you will ever write now belongs to me and you'll never be able to earn a single dollar again. Also you have to adhere to my political views and the slightest lack of enthusiasm will be severely punished.
