The BSD license has its benefits, as does the GPL. It depends what you are going to use the software for.

The GPL requires payment. The BSD does not. The payment is in a non-monetary form, but it is still a form of payment. That's all it is.

Making money.

From the standpoint of a public-traded corporation, the GPL has nothing but liabilities.

The BSD license limits those liabilities.
