These things always seem to start flame wars unfortunately. I think 
last time it was about even between people in favour of BSD and those 
for GPL. Although I also got the impression (appologies if I'm wrong) 
that of the people contributing the bias was somewhat more GPL than BSD.

My main problem with the BSD licence is the attribution clause. Not 
because I want to remove anything from Ben (indeed, the opposite!) but 
because I think in the long term with multiple contributors such a 
clause doesn't make sense. It causes licence compatibility issues as 
well.

Cheers,

Martin.
