As a copyright owner of source code,its important to know there are two kind of users of your code,"end users" and "distributors".
Any person who get the restrictions of the GPL is,by definition,"a distributor" and GPL does not exist to protect and serve their interests and that is why "distributors" complain about it.
If you are primary customer is "end users",then GPL is the right license for you,if your primary customer is "distributors",then BSD type of a license is a proper license.There is a reason why both licenses exist,they serve different purposes.
You changing from GPL to BSD type license could be an indication of you changing who your primary audience is.
