Once again the GPL camp takes and relicenses a project so that further improvements they make can't be used by the original authors.

Shame really.

If they didn't want people to be able to make changes that cannot be used upstream, there's a license for that. It's called the GPL.

They can be used by the original authors, if the original authors stop intentionally licensing their code so weakly that anyone can make changes that no one else can even see.
