I don't see issue with other open source licenses, they all push toward the correct direction. I just also prefer licenses that prevent corporations from hiding the code in a binary after selling it. Sometimes the corporation benefits from taking an adversarial relationship, especially those who are hoping to hide their flaws and backdoors from users. You can argue once the users find out it really hurts the corporation, and they'll always eventually find out, but you can bet that the shareholders will have cashed out long before that happened. While the best growth is always mutual gain, some are willing to take a less effort win/lose, and I would like to be able to trust that some of our software is safe from that. It's my personal opinion that FreeBSD throws pearls to swine, and that we should be using such a license for libraries that we don't mind being incorporated into commercial software, but not for our entire operating system. We both benefit from the competition, but I don't see much benefit in giving the most powerful party even more power than they already have.
