Copyleft licenses haven't prevented Linux to be used for the largest installed base of spying devices on earth (Android phones) nor for lock-in schemes ("the cloud").

In fact, it can be argued the ubiquity and availability of F/OSS is largely responsible for creating a situation in which the only buck to be made is integration, QA, and value-add (eg RedHat capturing the enterprise market) superseded by convenience and CapEx->OpEx benefits (cloud providers). Accompanied by EEE tactics (KHTML->WebKit, POSIXly/LSB Linux->systemd "Lennax"). Holding on to philosophical discourses of old doesn't help.

Progress and choice is made by individuals/idealists (TBL) and industry consortiums (POSIX, SQL) in rare moments of lucky adoption, to be then captured by venture capital, and the ad, porn, and gambling industries; then leveraged by money-launderes, CPers and other criminals, dictators, radical whackos.

Android is not free software. AOSP is, but Google services and drivers are proprietary making users helpless against surveillance and lock-in.

Try to do that on GNU/Linux phones.

For the “cloud” we have AGPL.
