Microsoft was evil. A pile of GPL code winning was part of what made them stop being evil. Shipping code under Google banned licenses can be thought of as either:

1) Excluding Googlers, which isn't very nice.

2) Applying pressure to de-evil Google, which is very nice and benefits everyone.

I'd like to have a non-evil Google again. I really miss the old non-evil, brilliant Google. Organizations change.

What about 3) don't care about Google? Do I really have to consider every big company when choosing a licence for my own personal project?
