I'd like to second Michael Tiemann's opinion: I respect the PG developers'
right to use the BSD license, and I understand the BSD point of view. I just
happen to disagree with it.
I also support the idea of putting together an FAQ that is as simple and
straight-forward as possible, so that no time is wasted on license flaming.
If the final note could simply say that you've chosen the BSD license
without bashing the GPL, we, GPL fans, would greatly appreciate it.
Can't we all just get along?
