The GPL's aim is keep openness for the end user as well as developers. BSD/MIT, etc. is aimed squarely for the benefit of developers. I far and away prefer GPL3 over anything else. I'm somewhat disappointed the Linux kernel and important tool chain programs are still under GPL2. I'm not an RMS fanboy by any stretch, but in the end, his views on the overarching concerns of GPL licensing and free/libre software are usually born out as true.
