The article at

http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/comment/0,5859,2772296,00.html

subtly suggests that there must be something wrong with BSD's philosophy 
or licensing because GPLed software (in particular, Linux, KDE, etc.) is 
the focus of more and more prominent startups. (Needless to say, as 
someone who has a strong vested interest in Linux, he's not exactly 
unbiased.) It's probably worth setting him straight in in the TalkBack.
