Don't believe RMSs FUD. You can't turn code "unfree", the BSD licensed code is still there. Just because some evil corporation uses my BSD licensed code in a closed source product, doesn't make my code unfree. Its still there, still just as free as it always was, for anyone and everyone to use. That is free. The code they added to it is not free, but the BSD licensed code is. The GPL is not about releasing free code, its about trying to force other people into releasing their code under the GPL. > opinion, /code/ that is labeled "free" should always remain "free" And code that has seriously restrictive licenses like the GPL should not be labeled "free" in the first place.
