> I feel like the history of open source (and the BSDs, even) show that such assholes don't get very far. Some versions of the SONY PlayStations are based on FreeBSD. The users of said PlayStations don't have any software freedom because the entire OS is proprietary. Assholes like this do exist, and if FreeBSD (and the other BSDs) were copylefted this wouldn't have happened. There are other examples (essentially any example of a company using BSD as the basis for their OS), but the point is pretty clear IMO.
