I'm with you there. Plus, mobile and embedded means lots of stuff gets integrated tightly with hardware. Those people will not risk hardware or interface secrets in firmware being released under GPL.

Even Stallman admits it's better for things standardized between proprietary and FOSS like codecs where they surely won't use GPL stuff.
