GPL has the nice property that any non-commercial contributer can be sure no one will ever commercialize his contributions; but still any commercial user can use it or sell services on top of it, and in case of LGPL even build products on top of it. My concern as researcher is that BSD does fully satisfy the interest of non-commercial contributers in the same way. Maybe that got lost in all the rant with Doru. AA
