> For GPL, it seems like a lot of people (including RMS) value the license more than absolute code quality. They would rather have worse software, under their idealogical license, than use better software under a less restrictive license.
RMS wants free software to be as good as non-free. He realizes that takes a lot of work, which he has dedicated his life to. We all realize it takes a lot of work, the difference is, some of us are willing to put in the work.
That said, sometimes the "ideology" behind a thing is important. Personally, there are certain products I don't buy, certain companies I don't endorse, becaues I don't want that blood on my hands.
And yes, BSD is a great license for people (companies) who just wants to profit off others' (work) and never give back.
