GPL vs BSD, a matter of sustainability

,----[ Quote ]
| So what can we conclude from all this? Both license models make software 
| free, but only GPL software is sustainably free. The BSD gives greater 
| freedom, the GPL gives more freedom. Choose which one you value more.

SELinux vs. OpenBSD's Default Security

,----[ Quote ]
| Darrin Chandler suggested, "security should not be grafted on, it should be 
| integrated into the main development process. I'm sure the patch maintainers 
| are doing their best, but this doesn't change the fundamental flaw in the 
| process. It's not a flaw of their making, it's inherent in the situation. But 
| it's still a flaw."

Open Source coders caught stealing Open Source code 

,----[ Quote ]
| Developers of OpenBSD took code from their brethren at Linux, violating
| the code's licence, the GPL. To the horror of the Linux folk, the
| OpenBSD licence allows proprietary use.
