I agree (to a certain extent).
Repairing broken Microsoft code is something I'd really like to do, but we can't since the license is non free.
MS uses occasionally BSD-code, but under another license. Therefore it's not free, which is problematic when it breaks down (which it does).
We agree on the BSD-license so no reason to fight over that. It's free as long as people don't close it, but when closed it's no longer free.
So, basically we agree. I prefer the GPL over any other license. No doubt about that.
