If a large company, like Novell, GPLs software that is useful and has a high demand instead of locking people into their proprietary solution, then said company gains a reputation as a free software advocate. With a reputation like that you will get noticed quickly and will gain support from the more vocal crowd, which means free advertising.

The BSD license as I see it is too extreme, gives too much freedom. There needs to be moderation, and I see the GPL as that moderation of freedom.

Besides, BSD Is Dead(tm)!
