BSD is for those who deliberately choose to ignore licence details and
requirements.
GPL is for those who have the moral and ethical courage to adhere to licence
details and requirements.

I made the deliberate choice of the GPL over the BSD license.
With the
BSD license, entities like MS are allowed to take my code, wrap it in a nice
binary package, and sell it as theirs!
With the GPL license, MS has to
provide the source for my code they've used... even if they've embraced and
extended the code so it's no longer compatible with my original version!
I
feel my code is protected under the GPL whereas the BSD license is pretty
much:
Do anything you want so long as you don't remove my copyright
attribution
The GPL:
The best balance between protecting the author's
(my) copyright rights in the work while protecting the user's (my) rights to be
able to freely use the works!
