If you want to use that code as part of a larger project then the GPL will prevent you from using it at your job, whereas BSD will allow you to leverage the code and you can still release your updates to community.
BSD is a truly free license, you give people to freedom to do whatever they like.
- apgwoz 17y agoRight. It is. But, what I'm saying is that BSD doesn't make it any more easy for others to maintain than the GPL does, like the article suggests.
- dantheman 17y agoIt does, because as I said I can use it in a commercial product. If I find a bug, or decide to add a feature or extend it I can release a patch back. If it was GPL'd I wouldn't have been able to use it and thus the patches and features would not have been released back.
