BGanesh was stating his observation.  And you are saying that his
observation is based on ignorance, right?

In *my* opinion, you reply certainly is not related to BGanesh's
observation.

The State has to watch out for those wily counter-revolutionaries.  We, The
State, must stop them from spreading rumours that will make out job of
helping The People think for themselves more difficult.

How was BGanesh's observation that *BSD users tend to me more forgiving
anfd less vocal about licensing a FUD?  Are you denying that *BSD license
is less restrictive than GPL?
