If I where doing it I would probably mandate all new code be under a
BSD or MIT Licence (or Public Domain etc.) before commit. I'm not a
big fan of the GPL because it has too many restrictions, the LGPL is
much better but BSD and MIT are the best.

And yea I think RMS would be screaming if all the BSD tools where
ported to Linux, everyone may want to use are tool set because of it's
unencumbered and engineered (as a set) nature.

How much code in FreeBSD is GPL, anyone know?
