..this used to be a wise advice in pretty much the same sense it was
wise to remain calm and keep quiet aboard any hijacked airliner.  

..nowadays we have Microsoft patenting all kindsa trivialities, and the
BSD's allows them the use and redistribution and modification of your
code, and without access to source, how do you keep track of who 
owns what mod, and how do you avoid being denied the use or right 
to distribute your code under any BSD license in the current software
patent happy regime?  (Yeah, its a retorical question.  ;o) )


..so even in this case, I find the GPL, a better choise.  <boom.>

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
