Maybe. Enabling more GPL software to become proprietary isn't exactly a service.

I think they moved chardet from GPL to MIT? If the maintainer made future versions proprietery, they'd surely be forked and then kicked out of the python package repo?

    That's what MIT does. It lets downstream versions become proprietary.
