The BSD license says nothing about compensation; have you read it lately? * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions * are met: * 1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright * notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright * notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the * documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. Nope, not in there. Sorry. You are mocking software authors who make a CONSCIOUS choice to use the BSD license (or other BSD-style licenses) by calling it "stupid". Perhaps they are uncomfortable with some of the restrictions imposed by the GPL? -- Jason T.
