Have you ever read the GPL?  Do you understand what it says?  Do you
like 5 page licenses with all sorts of legaleize in them that even
drives a lawyer nuts?

Sorry, just can't stand bloody restictions like that, even my lawyer
shreeks when he reads it!

UCB copyright, nice, sort, understandable, and only 4 conditions!
