For example, the BSDL is GPL compatible, but the GPL is not BSDL compatible. So code can flow from FreeBSD to GNU/Linux but not vice versa, or so I'm told. In fact, that is probably why the BSD web site is carrying the article claiming that the BSDL is superior to the GPL -- it is better for FreeBSD if you license under the BSDL instead of the GPL. One major question unresolved for me: If code is distributed under the BSDL and it is used within a proprietary program, does that program then have to be distributed under the BSDL? Can anyone take the code and change the license? Are we allowed to choose a different license for the binary than for the source that was used to build it? Mike
