I think it's usually for the worse, but I don't have statistics. Do you have some examples of companies switching to a more open license?
Sure! I'd like to see a little more diversity than one org though...
Qt (the one used by KDE) has progressed not only through a number of owners (Trolltech, Digia, Nokia, …), but also licenses such as the QPL to be triple-licensed under GPL, LGPL, and commercial for most of its components.
