Yes. In particular the reasons for choosing BSD are not limited to "I want people to be able to take my software proprietary". In the free software world, I think a more common reason would be, for example, "I want my code to be reuseable in all free software projects, no matter which license they use, and I'm willing to accept as a necessary evil the risk that somebody takes it proprietary". > (people ARE supposed to read licenses before applying them, after all!), I agree completely. The emphasized part "If you want your software to be as successful..." should definitely go away. We should *not* encourage people to use GPL (or any license) without "worrying" about it. Severe difficulties for all the parties involved could result if the author later decides that he don't want, say, people to use the program in a business - and then feel cheated because he assumed that our advise took care of whatever his expectations were. -- Henning Makholm "So? We're adaptable. We'll *switch missions*!"
