It's not even being compared to GPL. The original licence was BSD. You're right, these licences are meant to make things more free. It's incredible to me that even software engineers can't see beyond local optima and convenience to the bigger picture. BSD is like saying "you're free to do anything including throwing shit over your neighbour's fence". Individual freedom is basically irrelevant. It's community freedom that matters.
