Then why do not BSD folks change their license to: free and open for all except that no one can GPL the code.
This will resolve the issue once and for all.
But it will make BSD folks sound like hypocrites to the world.
- fhars 17y agoThat is exactly how ipf found itself removed from OpenBSD and replaced with pf. The author tried to change the licence to "anything except GPL," which was reegarded as an inacceptable non-free license by the OpenBSD project.
- apotheon 17y agoThat kinda seems to be the point: the GPL folks come off as hypocritical form the BSD folks' point of view, and the BSD folks are unwilling to be that hypocritical about it.
