That Free Software includes some non-copyleft licenses isn't that much of a problem in practice.

The war between "open source" and Free Software is mostly wasted energy.

It's easy to get riled up about licenses and "open source". It's a common pattern for developers to focus on that and believe that the licenses are all-powerful. But the biggest problems we have now aren't that there are not enough copyleft projects.

Some big hurdles I see in the near future are:

- Hardware lockdown. I expect more advanced versions of Intel ME are coming, building DRM into the hardware. We need more free/open hardware designs.
- Patents are still a problem. afaik software patents havn't been entirely invalidated.
- The web is heading for a cliff edge. The remaining silos may start locking the web down with EME and there may be not much we can do to stop that other than to work around it.
- We need to ensure that governments don't legislate the remaining independent web away. Things like article 13.
- We need to make sure that "strong" and e2e encryption remains legal. If we lose that then we are truly fucked.
- We need more education and agitation in the places that matter. Any public organization should be using Free Software by default and we also need to overcome the Microsoft monopoly in education establishments.
