Genuinely free ("copyfree") software has been gaining market share over GPL / copyleft for quite some time now. PostgreSQL is gaining on MySQL, LLVM on GCC, Go/Rust/D/Nim/etc on Java, etc, etc, etc.
Linux is a major exception, because switching kernels is harder than pretty much any other component, but at least it stayed with GPLv2 rather than v3. I'm sure that's the only reason we don't have GPLv4, v5, etc - with all sorts of new SJW restrictions added on...
The SJW CoC restrictions go away when you fork something and form your own community. But restrictive viral licenses are forever... They can even sue you for copyright infringement if you write something similar to something that was GPLed, even if you release it under a genuinely free license...
