There's a bit of valid critique that GPL crowd abhors paying for software, even if that wasn't the core intent of Free Software. But BSD licensing by itself does not offer any solution. It in fact sidesteps any dealing with intellectual property - like the article goes on a rant against capitalist greed instead.
I wish the notion of GPL/commercial dual licensing were more mainstream. If there were some FSF ethics guideline one could follow. But RMS and his followers are suspicious, if not belligerent of dual licensing. Thus (and that's another valid insight there) corporations are using political influence instead.
