Thoughts on a GPL4?

Many examples indicate an even stronger license is needed, I will list a few

  1. The current RedHat debacle

  2. MuseScore's closed source Musehub (after being acquired by Ultimatw Guitar)

  3. Google commiting copyright infringement by combining free (as in freedom) software with code under Apache license for Android

We clearly need a stronger, more all encompassing license.

MuseScore's closed source Musehub (after being acquired by Ultimatw Guitar)

Really? Well that sucks.
