I don't think it has. The essential point in Kuhn's post is that people can
still fork the GPL-licensed codebase and re-implement the proprietary parts
they need themselves. That's still impossible with a BSD licensed codebase
that has been turned proprietary.
So there's no crippling of new development and innovation at all. It's just
a bit slowed down ;)
I'm still wondering about the "...and the Ada Community" part of the
subject, though.
Bye...
