Because  commercial companies using FreeBSD in their proprietary products
are NOT willing to use
GPL v3 licensed software due to severe restrictions which commercial
companies can NOT fulfill in their proprietary products .

If FreeBSD uses GPL v3 software in its production , it will lost commercial
company  supporters and users base .

This my understanding from previously read messages .

Thank you very much .
