@Moon@moffintosh well companies did a lot of FUD and propagandizing over the GPL up until big tech became a thing. when they found ways to cheat the license they suddenly had no further issues with GPL. then when the AGPL came around Google outright banned it from Google Code in a not at all subtle jab that you were not to genuinely inconvenience a corpo from colonizing the commons.
Just like now you see a lot of heat thrown at the AGPL because they can't colonize it.
