GPLv3 is unusable for most commercial projects and it also stops distribution via app stores.
MIT and BSD-style appears to be too open for them, then somebody else could take the code and sell it themselves as a UI middleware. It looks like they wanted a middle ground, where they could sell it, but nobody else could, while still allowing people to create applications with it.

I see. There is also LGPL, would that not work for what you are saying?
