Any license at all is a release from the total copyright held by any
author by default.

The GPL 'gives' to the comunity in consideration of getting back
enhancements to the origional.  The BSD just gives.

Any licence short of releasing to public domain imposes _some_
restrictions.  There are just fewer in BSD compared with GPLv2 and fewer
in GPLv2 than in the proposed GPLv3.
