What a lying sonofabitch. That is not called freedom. That is called "forcible, viral open source". I think we can all see the difference.

Now you got it! GPL is about forcing people to do what /you/ want and BSD is about letting them do what /they/ want. Let's see if you can guess which one of those licenses is about freedom. Hint: freedom is not defined as forcing people to do what you want.
