<div>> The whole comment about how much GPL is in FreeBSD
desktop, might be read as GNU/FreeBSD. Seriously.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I feel that there is a lot of disinformation and confusion
about BSD within the GPL community.<br>

<div>Please explain why the FreeBSD project should be rebranded as
GNU/FreeBSD? What GNU software in FreeBSD would justify that?</div>

<p>Cause it feels that way, on the desktop. Gnome on top of FreeBSD
feels like more lines of code from GNU. Mind you, Firefox in there
may be a ton of code from Mozilla.</p>

<p>I think that we seriously underestimate how seriously our own
brains are influenced by subconscious calculation of fairness. If
a tiny trace of unfairness is detected, you don't have enough
brain resources to program, or to program good, efficiently, etc.</p>
<p>GPL is better to contributor's rights-n-powers than BSD. There is
less possible unfairness down the line.</p>
<p>It may feel like a loss of percentage points, multiply it by
number of people, multiply by number of things to attend. At this
point we may argue that push towards anything contributor friendly
becomes a proper thing to do.<br>
