It depends on who wants/gets the freedom. GPL ensures that the end
user gets all the freedom, while with BSD, companies get all the
freedom.
let us agree to disagree (which company benefits because python,
postgresql et al are truly free?)
Can't say about python and postgresql but Apple sure benefits from the
^freedom^
of BSD whereas Apple users don't :).
That's just one example.
Anyways, note the smiley, I do not wish to engage in a BSD Vs GPL flame (at
least not with someone to knows the facts and then chooses one over the other).
cheers,
