not necessarily - a lot of people just do not touch GPL code - they prefer to contribute code to projects with a more free license.
For the sake of those who have been following this long thread and trying to make some sense out of it, could we have an objective list of Licenses from all participants with their pros and cons listed. If GPL restricts freedom then in what way? If BSD restricts freedom then in what way? Short and simple please.
If experts on this list cannot agree on what license is good for software,
See, License of application depends on purpose of application ! most of the time when I just make a very small script or some trick - I use MIT license. If size goes bigger, I use GPL. for libraries - LGPL or varient fits good. for applications GPL is good and also depends on How you want to commercialize...
