GPL is a hostage negotiation, or at best barter. I'll give you my code if you give me yours. There is nothing "free" about it in my mind.
MIT/BSD/Apache is true freedom "You can have my code, no strings attached, do what you want with it, just promise you will tell people it is open-source and who wrote it!"
@freemo By that logic, the only free software is public domain.
This is a pointless argument though, because it's ancient and intractable. The question of freedom-to vs. freedom-from is literally ancient. And that's all GPL vs. BSD/MIT really is: same argument, in the narrow domain of software licensing.
I have strong opinions also, strongly contrary to yours. But the root of our apparent convictions runs far deeper than our views on software.
