I'd say GPLv3 avoidance demonstrates respect[fear] of the license, not abuse of it. To abuse it would be to use that software while not respecting the terms of the license.

I missed pointing out GPL2 is rather easy to abuse, i edited my original post.

Yes, Large Companies is scared of the GPL3 and we are told specifically never use any GPL3 software where I work :)
