i think it depends on what you want your user community to do. if you
want people to contribute back, then xGPL seems reasonable to me. if you
don't care if people take it, screw it up out of your field of vision
and then pronounce it Bad Work, then go with a BSD.
i have a problem with being pre-bullied by a company whose licensing
terms upset even casual users of their products.
that said, i understand some companies prefer BSD systems for their work
because they want to hack it without having to reveal their trade
secrets. at least that's what they say - a lot of these companies are in
the berzerkely intellectual hegemony..
