> What end-user rights does the GPL grant or protect that the BSD license doesn't? The right to receive a copy of the implementation of the program they are using and re-distribute it freely. I say "right" here, because in the case of BSD source on the internet it could be more accurately coined an "election" to distribute the source. As you say, "whatever the hell you want." Which is fine. So is requiring copies to carry a complete copy, including the human-readable form, and the rights to redistribute those, ala GPL.
