I would guess that by "the majority" here, you mean big law firm and/or
corporate lawyers who want to find the absolute minimum needed to comply
with the license. After almost fifteen years of dealing with such
people, I've no sympathy left for them.
No, the first time I heard someone complain about it was at Red Hat.
The second through nth times it was people on my GPL committee, which
was most distinctly not the big firm committee. And after that it was
at Mozilla. All before I joined a firm.
