Hmmm... I suspect that there are more "external" people working on, say,
Mozilla than there are working on, say, GCC. That's just a guess, mind
you. Plus, there seems to be more development interest in XFree86 than
there is in Emacs.
I don't think the licence has as much to do with it as you think,
compared with how sexy the project is and how badly the community wants
the software/changes.
Cheers,
