GPL To Go?

Sometimes people read too much into numbers when in truth, it is they that are in many ways irrelevant. As you can see in this article, Matt Asay believes that the GPL is losing ground as web based software seems to use other open source licenses. Well, this is the way the numbers presented in this article seem to present things, that is.
Honestly, I am not an expert in licensing or even the advantages of using one open source license over another. But I do know that it is more than possible to both make money with the a GPL licensed piece of software, especially if it is a web based app.
So at the end of the day, I really do not see a threat to the GPL either on Web apps or in the localized world. It’s still here, despite the numbers giving a completely different impression. But hey, I am open to debate. Do you see the GPL disappearing on the network-delivered software front?
