"Thing that are closed source" is not a use of software. Programs
don't become more or less capable of designing rockets or writing
subversive literature because the licence changes. The GPL provides an
identical number of restrictions in this case as the BSD licence.

Either way, the OP subscribes to the GPL ethic. Such arguments cloud
the real point of discussion --- which licence (if any) satisfies the
"permanent freedom" clause with some flexibility for linking?
