I agree with him yet I find GPL deeply unsatisfying. Web companies can take GPL software and use it without returning anything etc. and it does not harm them at all.
The distinction should be between for-profit/commercial and open-source. If you're making money on open source, you should chip in to reward the authors, and license should enforce it.
The idea is: people work on open source software and get shares in return. Software is free to use for other free projects, and must be paid for to use commercially. Any income is distributed between the authors according to "shares" in the project.

That's why I'm in contact with CopyFair License people: http://p2pfoundation.net/CopyFair_License to create a CopyFair Software License and even a collaborative software development model CopyFair Corp: https://github.com/CopyFairCorp/copyfair
