I think this pretty much shows the conflict between the camps or at least the BSD license:

"The GPL can present a real problem for those wishing to commercialize and profit from software. For example, the GPL adds to the difficulty a graduate student will have in directly forming a company to commercialize his research results, or the difficulty a student will have in joining a company on the assumption that a promising research project will be commercialized." - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/bsdl-gpl/article.html

I read somewhere by some FreeBSD or whatever developer saying they didn't like the GPL because it was too restrictive and with the GPL infection of Linux and why BSD licenses and BSD based systems are the way to go. Just can't find it.
