Howdy, I have read these license and there are big differences. I do try BSD and usually have a BSD machine of some sort running. I have run FreeBSD, PC-BSD(really FreeBSD), OpenBSD and DragonFly. OK, DragonFly never fully ran, but I tried and will try it again. pf under FreeBSD is so much easier to understand than iptables and that is one appeal. I help run a Linux/Unix install project locally and I want to be able to answer questions about BSD and that is another reason. But, the GPL is such a strong incentive to stay primarily with Linux that I will probably move my main computers to BSD only if Microsoft finally finds some way to kill Linux. The GPL fosters an open ecosystem and the BSD licenses are better than nothing, but don't go far enough. I will avoid how I normally describe the BSD license because I don't want people to think I am flaming BSD people. Good day, Ralph
