Anyone who has sat in on company conferences discussing what changes 
would be forced because of GPL or LPGL knows that only the BSD is free, 
not thje GPL.  LRPL is closer, but the folks who call GPL free are 
either lying or ignorant.  They want to force you to do things their 
way, but they don't want you to be able to call that coercion.
