Frequently Asked Questions about the GNU Licenses - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation What does it mean to say a license is “compatible with the GPL?” (#WhatDoesCompatMean)
What does "the Program" mean in GPLv3? - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gplv3-the-program.html
Is BSD more free than GPL Depends on your perspective. From the point of view of someone who is not the original author (or the copyright holder, if they are not the same) then BSD is more free. You can do what you want with the code. But for the author/copyright holder, GPL has an advantage that noone can take your code and improve it without the changes being available to you. If I were releasing code under a free licence, I would choose the GPL. If I were using someone elses code to incorporate into a commercial product, I'd prefer it be under the BSDL.
- Guido van Rossum Responds to Python Licensing Issues Open Source,Community,Software Sep 7th, 2000
In any case we don't want to use *just* the GPL for Python, because there are many proprietary software developers in the Python community who don't want to work with the GPL. Python has always had a BSD'ish license which was perfect for them. I see no reason to suddenly confront everyone in the Python world with the GPL. http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-09-07-011-21-OS-CY-SW
