Also, obvious to some, overlooked by others: GPLv2 vs. GPLv3. The former allows you more "freedom" to have some restrictions what you release or how you release it. Saying that GPL is restrictive is mostly incorrect.
In the end, the most profitable company on earth is unsurprisingly slowly using its power to put in place restrictions. While they're far from Microsoft's old monopoly model, they're obviously no longer the "underdog" as they were once considered by long-time users/supporters. Similarly, however, Linux has gained more popularity; the printing protocol can use more developer eyes, minds just like the Bluetooth protocol did not too long ago.
