This is a very important point and a huge step forward in my opinion.
The downside of MIT/BSD licenses is that companies can take and not give
back. It doesn't build a community and commonly-shared property. Copyleft
allows people to take and embrace, but if they extend they have to give
back. Which is fair, you build it on their stuff...
