Can you explain a bit more? Why would you prefer your OS to be GPL instead of the BSD licence?

  Because I'd only benefit as a consumer if companies and persons were forced to contribute back their published changes, and even release their stack if its AGPL. I win nothing if Sony makes playstation OS from freebsd but for no reason at all, I can't run games on freebsd. Can you imagine if you could just run all modern games on freebsd? Windows would have been long extinct.

    Well, no. Companies would pick another OS or cook up their own stack.

      That may have been a legitimate choice in the early 2000s.
