See: the clauses saying "must reproduce/retain the above copyright".

- Zambyte 3y agoRead the licenses more closely.
- pseudonym0us 3y agoWork in a project with BSD-licensed stuff.
- Zambyte 3y agoIf you're fine with violating the license, then there is nothing stopping you from closing the source to GPL licensed software without a word of credit. I'm not sure what your point is.
- pseudonym0us 3y agoNo need to violate the license, just close the source and no outsider would know it's a fork.
- Zambyte 3y agoSee clause 2 of both BSD licenses.
