I regards to the decision to move from MPL-with-attribution to GPLv2:
> The community felt otherwise and we were uncomfortable with that and so I made the decision to go to the GPLv2, which has been fantastic for the company in all respects. I mean literally, leads went up, page views went up, downloads went up, our registered community went up in significant percentages. Our sales went up 50 percentage. Our average sales price went up 25 percent, meaning the size of the deals went up. Were now getting a thousand, two thousand leads per week. So everything was positive from it. weve made more money, not less. We have more community, not less. More community involvement. (*snip*)
I wonder how other people's experiances compare with this.
