Given the U.S. legal idea of "fiduciary responsibility", "it could
work" must be considered to mean "it could generate as much profit as
the creation and sale of proprietary software."  Since there is no
evidence yet that such profit can be earned, shareholders would roast
alive any manager who gives away source code to a corporation's cash
cow application.  So if anyone comes out with a GPL'd killer app, it
won't be a corporation.
