Thanks Fabio I like GPL too.
BSD is very permissive, can the same code be re-licensed as GPL? I can't see why not if you can just take the code and hide it in commercial products.
I don't know very much about this but I have read that the BSD kernel is cleaner then Linux and the ports system seems nice.
If it could be GPL'd what about Trisquel BSD? ! Thanks again On 12-02-16 03:58 PM, Fabio Burlá wrote:
I believe the problem with BSD is that it doesn't use a GPL-compatible license, which means it allows malicious enterprises to use the code to steal freedom away from you. The problem with FSF approval is not only the absence of proprietary code, but the will to use the law to garantee freedom by licensing it with GPL. In other words, that means they can't condone the use and development of a kernel that will ultimately be used in an evil way, while Linux by using a GPL license is protected from this danger, therefore all recommended operating systems are GNU/Linux-based
