I guess I fail to appreciate the burden of having to write code to benefit users at all levels of skill and financial capacity.
Sorry.

@dulsi I disagree, there have been massive wasted efforts to get off of GPL in the past due to its viral nature preventing things moving ahead.
If you want specific examples you only need to look to the X11/Xorg disaster where the entire system needed to be rewritten.
If you want less anecdotal evidence just need to look at the trend in software development int he last 4 - 8 years. In 2012 GPL dominated but since then permissive licenses have taken over and GPL projects have gone by the wayside. Where in 2012 60% of active projects were copy-left the current numbers are about half of that (with permissive licenses now being the dominant license in oss/linux world).
