First, the development of free software as opposed to open source software is faster and has a larger pool of developers. That does not happen by accident and it will always be true. When the proprietary software companies have finished incorporating all the BSD code they need they will have hired most of the developers to develop their proprietary products, under license to not develop open source lest they reveal proprietary secrets. Then you are left with fewer and less experienced programmers developing code in the hope that they will one day be hired away by megacorp. Those types of programmers will be inferior to free software programmers and free software will continue to grow leaps and bounds over BSD style development. The BSD's have certainly done some good things in their time and will again no doubt. It's not an entirely either/or issue. Nevertheless for software freedom we need free software not just open sourced software.
