Is it about the license? I see less and less new projects using GPL, and a lot of MIT(ish) licenses.
Most complex open source projects like Linux for example have a lot of contributions by corporations. The GPL kind of forces them to participate in open source, instead of just creating internal forks.
GPL and even LGPL are tricky for libraries though.
