You are not forced to share with GPL, you can make improvements and keep them for private use. Only if you release them you must do it under GPL. With BSDL you can keep your improvements for private use, try to earn money selling as proprietary code, release under BSDL, release under GPL... You have more choices, you have more freedom.
