Exactly. Just like the GPL and BSD camps completely accept one another. Look, you are _never_ going to get complete acceptance. If you start with that as a goal, you are setting yourself up for failure, and you are going to waste a lot of time and energy trying to get there. Each license has an extremely vocal minority that will always treat every alternate license as a heresy. Even engaging with these people is a waste of time. It's a religious issue and, despite their protestations, reason doesn't enter into it. If you enjoy the argument, then have at it, but don't expect to actually get anywhere with it.
