I'd argue the BSD ecosystem is friendlier in general. GPL has this odd hostile attitude to it that seems to have only gotten worse of late...a feeling of preparation for war. I'm recalling Sony's presentation on why they chose LLVM/Clang [1], where they rather hated that they had to work on so much in secret, because they couldn't collaborate with the community, even though they didn't have to. Compare that to the FSF's stunts like "Windows 7 Deadly Sins" and you see the rather blatant hostility that seems to run rampant in the GPL camp.

- pjmlp 12y agoYes, so much that they haven't returned anything back to the community that helped them save development resources (money), or did they?
- Sanddancer 12y agoThey do. Here's a pretty extensive test suite that was committed not too long ago http://reviews.llvm.org/rL214126 http://reviews.llvm.org/rL214126
