http://www.networkworld.com/supp/2005/opensource/070405-face-off-no.html Open-source licensing: GPL is a better model By Matt Asay, Network World, 07/04/05
> No one open source license is ideal in every circumstance. Different
> licenses serve different ends. Berkeley Software Distribution-style
> licenses have been used to govern the development of exceptional open
> source projects such as Apache. Clearly, BSD has its strengths.
>
> However, all things being equal, I prefer the General Public License
> (GPL ). The GPL is one of the most exciting, innovative capitalist
> tools ever created. The GPL breaks down walls between vendors and
> customers while enabling strong competitive differentiation. Unlike
> the BSD, which strikes me as serving an ever-narrowing slice of the
> development community that shares code simply for the sake of
> sharing, the GPL takes a hardheaded look at software development (and
> human nature) and works to maximize choice, control and a free
> market.
