Thanks, but no thanks.
There's no need to mix Linux and BSD development. If they want something from the bastardized UNIX a.k.a Linux it's their problem. Nobody from this side of the fence gives a damn about their problems.
Moreso, since (Free)BSD is an Apple side project nowadays, maybe they can open source their own Quartz display server and some of their Intel drivers, so that their brethren can have the best FOSS in the world.

In every conversation on this forum about anything licensed under a permissive license, your stand is clearly made for the authoritarian nature of the gpl.

Originally posted by brosis View PostAh, anarchy, yeah, go suck on their lengths more, you are OWNED for life, where did your freedom suddenly go?
Nowhere. All I need is python, Latex and a decent compiler and I'm good to go. I can do my work on Linux, osx, windows and even freebsd. I don't even need fancy 3D drivers, as long as they can show 2D graphics I'm fine.
Where's your freedom? In you pants?

BSD is like: Use it however you want as long as you mention me in the license. Mentioning the author is pretty much the only demand.

I think compare which license are more free can be by doing by counting DENY and MUST in it. Because that terms infringe freedom.
GNU GPL (v3):
- I don't know and don't want to count it
BSD (FreeBSD licence):
- 2 MUST terms about presence license text with any BSD licensed code or products based on it.
So if someone can compare by that methodic - I think BSD license more free than GPL.
