Its much more free than GPL. You wont hear a bunch of mumbo jumbo theories, guesses and suggestions about what is legal or not or one interpretation vs another. BSD: use it, tweak it, sell it, profit. Just remember to give a hats off to the original creators. No fuss. One memorable quote from Theo, "But software which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all (be they people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it, including modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby mulching machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia." Have a nice day (or not)
