I don't know if you're aware of this, but this kind is *useless* discussion has been going on on the mailing lists for *years*. Check groups.google.com and you'll see that everything you might want to add about GPL vs BSD has already been said a hundred times. John Dyson posted a lot about it, then Brett Glass did for a while, and now you. If the time wasted on these rants had gone into writing software we'd have a 100% BSDL system today. My very humble suggestion is that you please take this somewhere else. I've never seen a GPL advocate 'see the light' and start licensing his software under the BSD license after having a conversation with a BSD 'zealot', or vice versa. /me goes back to lurking...
