- _When_ there is an alternative then yes, absolutely. Non-copyleft has already been a preference for some time anyway in many companies. Will things change that much?
- On other hand, when there is no alternative then this will help "professional" companies who make an effort to do the right thing and who know how to produce a proper Bills of Materials which is a legal requirement for many other licenses than the GPL anyway and which is also becoming a regulatory requirement for national security reasons. Enough already with "low-cost" software and USB sticks thrown over the wall, it's not the 80s anymore.

Copyleft *should* be preferred by user companies, because it's *user* friendly.
The question companies should be asking is "am I developer, or user?", and make the decision based on that. Hardware makers are users.

As a professional developer, I could not disagree more... nothing is more infuriating that having to use buggy closed-source libraries or utilities to develop your product; perhaps you meant that "non-copyleft is preferred by software companies, because it's *company* friendly"?
