The BSD license allows someone to take the code, improve it, and not share the improvements, which may sometimes lead to fragmentation. This happened in the Wine project, where some companies used the free Wine code and added closed improvements. Improvements to Wine were merged to the closed product, but improvements to the closed product could not be used by Wine. The licence of Wine was changed to the LGPL to stop this.
