"That's objectively false. GPL provides more end-user freedom. BSD provides more developer freedom. There's not a single license which objectively and universally offers more freedom."
I disagree. Forcing people to do things is not "more freedom", although the GPL's goals are laudable.
"False dichtohomy. That's comparing rotten apples to ripe oranges.
You either have to compare old GPL to old BSD or new GPL to new BSD.
And as an end-user I would prefer both new and GPL."
Unfortunately, new and GPL is not an option. But this result is what the FSF wanted when they created the GPL3.
- josteink 9y ago> I disagree This debate has been had a million times. Every time reasonable people agree you have to choose one or the other. You can't have both. I see no reason to re-iterate that debate though. I'd just like to point out that your view is not the prevalent nor accepted one.
