Well, by "proprietary fork" or "commercial fork"
I mean someone is able to get more rights to the

Copyleft prevents anyone from changing the restrictions
on a project, which means you can't have Linux
start out GNU-GPL, and then have Microsoft come along,
create a derivative and license it "all rights reserved".

By analogy with "pirating", I like to call that "hijacking".
