One other thing I want to point out - when using OSS at a corporation, I have sometimes contributed back to the project as an individual. Sometimes that's because I've done it after hours, and sometimes it's because contributing back as a "representative" of the company would have required going through red tape
I agree it's your choice. I will say, however, that we need to band together as a community. This of course depends on your views on the future of OSS but if you want corporations to also participate and maybe have a chance at a completely open source future, we need to collectively insist on GPL. Doing otherwise minimizes the efforts of those who want more OSS participation from corporations.
