Not to worry! The mystic force of the BSD license is just as great today
as it ever was before it was redacted to ink and paper by lawyers, and the
calm businesslike approach of the GPL stands as strong as it did on the
first day its edge flashed the light of Reasoned Self-Interest to the eyes
of End-User and Hacker alike.
Dumbledore has a word in Volume III of the Stories of Harry Potter about
the BSD license.
