Is that a function of the software, or of the license? (And more importantly, can that difference be quantified?)
BSD/MIT is pretty well thriving, too. You probably use OpenSSH every day :)
The more permissive licenses always seemed the way to go, to me. I'd rather people contribute out of personal desire to, rather than legal obligation. That, and the GPL always seemed a bit too communist (in the sense of implying that other people have a moral right to your work) for my taste.
