Some notes about me and my software:
Most of my software is released under BSD-like licenses unless GPL code was used, then under the terms of the GPL license it is also released under the GPL. To address why I prefer the BSD style license I'd like to say that I prefer the BSD style license because it gives the programmer more freedom. While I respect the fundamental idea of the GPL, I think that the programmer needs freedom more than the source code does. While some may argue that giving the programmers the freedom to close their source will inevitably cause them to do so, I would like to take the more optimistic point of view and take the position that the code will be likely be free eventually. The more power to the individual who can make a few dollars off of their innovation. :)
