the creation of the GPLv3 and the sometimes contentious discussion that led up to it' may be partly responsible for the move away from the GPL.
I'm in business to make money. I also love OSS and have spent literally hundreds of hours personally contributing back in many different ways. The problem with GPLv3 is that I can't use it in an application I develop unless I release any changes/mods I make to the source code.
That's my secret sauce. If I'm a startup and trying to form a niche in an industry, why would I want to give my recipe away?
For example, if total borrows of all participating KDP Select books are 100,000 in December and an author’s book was borrowed 1,500 times, they will earn $7,500 in additional royalties from KDP Select in December
Not sure how well technical books would fare in this model, but it seems that the 100-200 page fiction books would do quite well.
I expect that would be strong enough incentive to be willing to experiment with a book or two.
It took me 16 months to write a book on Drupal, the idea of "experimenting with a book or two" doesn't sit well with me, especially if I need to commit to selling it exclusively through the Kindle store.
According to a proof of concept by Geek Condition, there is a security flaw in Gmail that allows an attacker to forward GoDaddy account reset information to the offending party unbeknownst by the victim. This is done by creating a filter that forwards GoDaddy’s “change of password” mail to the attacker and deletes it from your inbox.

So many trademark infringements, so little time...
This sucks, destroys any idea I had of developing an algorithm that drives a car.

Profit!
Thousands of online accounts are hijacked every day. If you re-use your Gmail password at other websites, change it now. Learn more.
FB will become a pyramid, similar to MySpace and the blink tag.

That was good enough for Judge Kent Dawson to order the names seized and transferred to GoDaddy
Danica Patrick should be so happy.
