Kudos to you for using BSD license. As ironic as this sounds, your code may never have seen such widespread service had it been under a restrictive license like GPL. I would imagine that this applies to many BSD components used in Windows. For example, the Internet may not have been IP-based if the BSD implementation of IP was under a restrictive license. There were many competing network protocols (like SNA for example) that were closed. It is a pity that you weren't given your due credit. You can try complaining I suppose.
I always use BSD or MIT licenses. I'm not a fan of GPL; it's like a cancer IMO.
I will be complaining; we'll see how it goes.
GPL is more like swine flu without medication than cancer. I always use BSD/MIT, or just public domain it.
Hopefully things go your way. Like, very your way.
The cancer analogy works just fine...
Cancer isn't contagious to other people (projects), whereas swine flu (or any flu...) can.
That being said, cancer spreads within the body, taking over other cells, making it apt as well.
In either case, I disagree. Both cases imply accidental spreading, whereas you know exactly what you're doing with GPL.
If accidentally using GPL code => cancer, in the sense that it leads to pain and eventual death, then accidentally using commercial/proprietary code => actual death. I don't think you can separate those, and I don't think either works.
