>You compare a free license with slavery....no one forces you to work on a project that uses BSD/MIT/ISC, also no one forces you to live in the US, that's the "small" difference, no one takes your freedom away.
No, I am not comparing that. You are doing the "comparing" of things that are not comparable. and I am failing to explain , maybe if you know math you understand this
(1,-1) and (-1,1) are not equal but you can't define a natural comparison, if you ignore a component of the vectors you can compare them or if you invent your custom subjective comparison rule you might,
Replace those 2 vectors with BSD and GPL, they are not the same and you can't compare them because there are 2 dimensions, user freedom and dev freedom.
If you ignore a component you can compare them, or if you define your own metric then you can say "from a dev point of view BSD is better" and if you say this I will say "True". What people do is something like "BSD is more free then GPL" but ignore the user, the GPL requires you do the decent thing as when you use a GPL code you don't make it less free. so you are not free to make something free less free, you are not allow to remove freedom from something.
