So getting rid of GPLv3 means they can't be doing anything good in open source? Nevermind CUPS, LLVM, Swift, and WebKit just to name a few?

GPL isn't the only license in town, and clearly there are disadvantages to it.

What "disadvantage" are you referring to? The one that forces companies to give back in the same manner that allows them to use the work of others for free? Yeah, that is so shitty.

The problem is that you need to give back everything, even if the GPL code you are using is a tiny part of your product. That's why I prefer LGPL.
