The GNU Public License is the best known for its viral aspects. Among the prominent GPL licensed software is of course the Linux core and MySQL. Recent newcomers include the JavaScript framework ExtJS and the application server SpringSource Application Platform. The primary motivation for choosing a viral license like the GPL for people or companys behind the product is to protect their business.

Doesn't seem like the author has done very much research on the GPL license. The questions he raises are answered by the GPL FAQ.
