Doing this, nobody will integrate this software in embedded devices and contribute code by dedicating resources to support or enhance it. GPLv3 without companion paying license that relief from the obligation to be able to replace the code on a device makes no sense for me. GPLV2 would also oblige people to publish their contribution but would allow people to use it on devices.
