The LF supports projects of all OSI-approve open source licenses, including many using copyleft GPL/LGPL/EPL/MPLv2 licenses. The communities and copyright owners pick the project licenses, not the Foundation. Bryan Cantrill posted a blog on why this community decided on a license change to ASLv2. https://www.joyent.com/blog/the-liberation-of-rethinkdb.
