Apple is first and foremost a hardware company, Netflix is a content company, NetApp sales raw disk space (btw I should thank them for bhyve). As a *programmer* I make my living from writing code and the fundamental problem with GPL is it forces me to give away the one way I make a living (I do not sell hardware, IT services, movie rentals, etc.).
