This is a statement about the well-known FSF preference for copyleft licenses, not a "shame on you! you adopted non-free licenses!". > They consider > both MIT/X11 and the three-clause BSD free software > licenses, Indeed. > although the three-clause BSD is indeed > incompatible with the GPL > (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html). No it's not. The 4-clause BSD (a.k.a. Original BSD) license is. The 3-clause BSD (a.k.a. Modified BSD) license is instead GPL-compatible. Both are free software licenses. The URL you yourself cited reads | If you want a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, | the modified BSD license is a reasonable choice -- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. ......................................................................
