You are off base here. X and BSD allow anyone to do anything with the
source, GPL expressedly forbids anyone to do anything without releasing it.
GPL is the more restrictive. It is the freedom to 'do whatever' with the
source that RS cannot stand, and thus you and his cronies continue to
suggest that GPL is less restrictive, when in reality, it forces more
restrictions. I suggest you go and read http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html
for a fresh perspective rather than the close minded one you seem to have
been spoon fed. I've read the GPL arguments, have you read the BSD arguments?
