Meh. I use BSD so I can continue developing and using the software I write when I move to a different company without the current company playing gpl / proprietary shinanigans, limiting my future freedom.

what shenanigans? This reads like a kind of FUD. Once your software has been released under the GPL, you can continue developing it under the terms of the GPL.
