Thoughts on a GPL4?

Many examples indicate an even stronger license is needed, I will list a few

The current RedHat debacle
MuseScore's closed source Musehub (after being acquired by Ultimatw Guitar)
Google commiting copyright infringement by combining free (as in freedom) software with code under Apache license for Android

We clearly need a stronger, more all encompassing license.

I'm not too familiar with it, but I'm always open to moving to stronger copyleft-licenses, if the AGPLv3 is proving inadequate.
