I've noticed some commits to -current and ports over the last week that indicate that Berkeley more is being replaced by GNU less. Granted less is a better product and I use it myself, my question is about GNU licensing. First, from the standpoint of GNU licensing this is a bad thing. Secondly, I've seen numerous discussions on various mailing lists about why not to do something or another because of GNU licensing, yet we replace applications with Berkeley licenses with GNU licenses. Why are we then so concerned with GNU licensing in the first place when we so quickly replace a Berkeley application with a GNU application, especially when, at least as far as the features I use, behave so closely?
