Duh ..

Yes the GPL is a diff lic than the BSD, however in all past times GPL 'ed software has been more ubiquitous just because the user who wants to use (and distribute) has to be open about that to the world and return his changes/additions. (which most do gladly, earning respect)

Therefore there is more out there, a most critical factor. There is more happening and more available. People notice that.

Many of BSD software borrowers can' t be bothered to give anything back for what they took from BSD's coders.

The FSF tries it utmost to protect user freedom and coders rights. Something that simply is not understood by All ..
