The problem is with the licensing. Those of us who are professional
developers and develop commercial software cannot safely inspect
GPLed code for legal reasons. This is why I and many other
developers favor a completely BSD-licensed solution.
You don't really see GNU-folk bashing BSD,
Actually, you do. And they do something even funnier -- they try to
put their own stamp on Linux. (Just call it "Linux" in front of
Richard Stallman, and you won't hear the end of it. He'll yell,
"It's GNU/Linux. Gnooooooooooooooooo-LINUX!")
Which is doubly ironic because every Linux distribution contains
bunches of code from BSD. ;-)
