Only for those who want to create proprietary products with
restrictive licensing using copyrighted products from other
people who are unwilling to agree to such restrictive licenses.
It is certainly intended to be a significant effect, e.g. in
the case of GNAT it is intended to ensure that GNAT will remain
as Free Software (I will use caps for the "libre" meaning) for
ever, and neither Tom Moran nor anyone else will be able to
subvert this intention in the future :-)
