Until very recently, I didn't care if my work were used inside a proprietary program. My main concern was that others could use, modify and redistribute what I'd made. In the period 1999-2014, I had been drifting steadily away from GPL/copyleft and more toward Expat/permissive. Then the systemd thing happened, and I stopped to think what Redhat would have done had the Linux kernel been licensed Expat. That started me once again strongly considering copyleft.
