Do we really know how bad things are? Is there a report somewhere 
showing, for example adoption in free software, copyleft license and 
dependency in proprietary software / noncopyleft software in numbers and 
how it has evolved over the time?

On a side note, do we have success criteria (over achievable stages, not 
just disappearance of proprietary software from the world) that we can 
use to compare and good metrics to measure the progress of the movement?

I don't know about others, but I find OP's posts as well as some replies 
(e.g. Davis Remmel's) informative and useful. I appreciate the on-topic 
discussions in this thread.
