I am not sure I am convinced by these statements. As a
developer, I fail to see how the GPL helps me any less than the BSD
style licenses do -- unless you assume that all developers want to
squirrel code away and make loads of money off other people's work.
Is there any other way that the BSD is better for developers
than the GPL is?
