The BSD license promotes goodwill.

The GPL license promotes and enforces viral control.  How hypocritical that the Linux community fights so hard against the "evils" of corporate greed, while it has no qualms about accepting their NDAs, binary blobs, and non-redistributable drivers.  It will bend over backwards for closed-source vendors, but won't extend the olive branch to Free Software brethren.
