If Longhorn uses BSD great!. You can still get FreeBSD and that doesn't change the fact about BSD licensing. How has BSD been harmed?. BSD sources are still available. If microsoft enhances their Longhorn OS great more power to them. Maybe this may be a reason for the BSD programmers to get competitive.
GPL on the other hand reduces everybody to mediocrity because why would some vendor make exponential improvements when all his competitors get access to the same?. If you don't believe it, why doesn't the USA to open source the blueprints for the space shuttle or f16s?.
