BSD is a problem right now, because you cannot link BSD to GPL, and you cannot make BSD modules attached to the GCC

Well, as I've understood, that's GPL's problem, not BSD's problem. The BSD license is more free (the only true free software is public domain software) than the GPL.

I never write modules and release them under the GPL. I seldomly agree with Microsoft, but I do agree with their opinion that the GPL is a viral license. I prefer the use an MIT/X style license. I release code because I want to the code to be used, not because for political statementes, or because I want to enforce my ideas on the world.

I'm only a humble coder. I've consumed more code that I've given. Who am I to put restrictions on the code I release?
