FreeBSD is distributed, not under the GPL license. GPL
conforms to Richard Stallman's idea about what software
should be, and if you use it, then it has a tendency to
invade your own software, like an infection. (You understand
I'm writing this to illustrate the perspective of those
who disagree with R.S.) The license for BSD does not have quite
the same tendency for spreading into other people's works.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
