BSD

On: Caldera CEO Says Linux Is Proprietary

I don't care what anyone says, the GPL is restrictive. It takes away the freedom to innovate. Its akin to communism. Give us everything you have and we'll protect you, you might go hungry, but we'll always protect you, no matter what.

The BSD license is akin to capitalism. Do what you like, and we'll protect you to the best of our ability's, which is the trade off. "We'll protect you to the best of our ability's" insinuates that we won't protect you if it is unreasonable to do so.

If I have to choose between protection and no freedom, and virtual protection and freedom. I choose the latter. I choose BSD.

Might be a little off topic here, but Slashdot, when are you going to stop using Be's old logo? Frankly I think its a little disrespectful. I mean their new logo has been in use for over a year... Check their homepage for the new one.
