Let me make a rant on BSD vs GPL licenses.
It is well known fact that Micro$oft used *BSD TCP stack in earlier versions of their shit. In addition on _old_ versions of windows, grepping for "Berkeley" returned the bsd license in userland, likely in the shit called "ftp.exe".
I am not a coder, though have released some non-destructive stuff.
If I were a coder, I would have been pissed off if micro$oft profited from my codeZ$ (though a lot a of sheeple don't care about this).
My googlefu is failing me, but I recall that Microsoft came to some sort of agreement back in the 90s with the Regents of the University of California, meaning someone got payed.
If I were a coder, GPL is assumed to guarantee me that shit like m$ can't profit from codeZ$.
