BSD vs GPL - NYCBSDCon 2008 watch!

video.google.com — This was the long-awaited follow-up to my "BSD is Dying" presentation from 2006. Given at NYCBSDCon on October 10 2008, this new talk covers many of the similarities and differences between the BSD and GPL licenses and illustrates how our definition of software freedom is affected by our own points-of-view. As good as the original? You tell me.

  • kmoore134, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3Great speech, with a lot of good points about the differences between BSD and the GPL license(s).
  • fuzzyping, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Ok, I was being lazy. Here's the real link:

  • fuzzyping, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1The Google Video page also links to the full mpeg version in the description.
  • frase, on 10/21/2008, -1/+1An interesting topic, covered with bias (which is mostly okay) and extreme derision (which is not) of the opposing viewpoint. Anyone from the GPL camp and anyone previously unfamiliar with the differences between the GNU and BSD licences couldn't possibly watch that and come away with a higher esteem of the BSD community.
