Can you explain how you reach this conclusion?
Assuming the GPL did not exist and the author would have made stuff proprietary, would that be better ?
Some people like me would share code with GPL3 or later, why the f* should we give it to you as BSD? are you running on your devices only BSD code or MIT code ? or are you running proprietary software but for some reason making all stuff BSD will make your job easier since you could mindlesly copy paste shit in your proprietary stuff?
