Communism, especialy in the soclialist version, goes against human nature by makeing peole help each other and remove their ability to have private propperty. i can't think of somthing to compare the GPL to except "sure, you can modify this, but you have to give EVERYONE your changes, too! <wicked-witch-of-the-west laugh>!!". the BSD lisence lets anyone make modifications and keep them secret if they wish, however i'm probably too young to have heard of any time when this actualy presented a problem. in fact, i can't even think of an example of this happening with anything other than Apache. i don't work for a company, infact i'm not even out of high school yet, so i'd give code back because i have nothing to gain from keeping it a secret. However, i like that i could if i wanted to, unlike with the GPL.
