[ILUG] BSD vs GPL licenses

[ILUG] BSD vs GPL licenses

Hi there,

I know i might be starting a little war here, but i would like to hear what
advice you guys have about both GPL and BSD licenses: which one do you
prefer and why and so on.

I know there are great products like Apache using permissive licenses that
are a success within the Open Source Community, but in my opinion forcing
people to share the code (as the GPL does) is a better practice to improve
innovation and progress...

Any thoughts appreciated.

Cheers,

David
