Exactly. I always read BSD discussions and think "what a bunch of licensing fanbois". I guess since the OS and the license have the same name...
Anyway, here's why I support Linux and the GPL: the WRT54G. Linksys would have never released the source code for the router's kernel without being forced to. But when they did it, an amazing thing happened, third-party developers made their product one of the most popular wireless routers ever. With open source, everyone benefited -- users got better products, hackers had fun, an d Linksys made more money.
If Linux was BSD-licensed, the WRT54G would be a long-forgotten relic of the past.
