DosUSB licence and price (Users)

Even if I don't agree everywhere, you should publish your opinion also somewhere else.

I've always asked myself what is more freedom, BSD or (L)GPL. There is no general answer, depending on your branches and status. Now I understand the different viewpoints better.

Personally as a hobbyist I am more happy to see GPL software. I don't like if if third party's come and release the same software with or without a few tweaks as closed source and poach users of the software I prefer, because it's my own disadvantage for the further developement of the original software.

For example Firefox and Netscape. I am a Firefox user and imho the new Netscape browser was pretty pointless and contra productive for Firefox. With GPL only this couldn't have happened.
