The logical conclusion of your argument is that the GPL is
pointless.
The logical conclusion of *my* argument is don't use GPL licensed
code and you won't be hauled into federal court by a band of
wild-eyed zealots who practice socialism in software licensing as
a religion.
And, since the BSD license is toothless, why even bother? Just
license it the same way sqlite is licensed: public domain.
That's the conclusion which can be drawn from your argument.
The conclusion that can be drawn from *my* argument is that using
permissive licensed open source code such as BSD licensed

If *you* wish to present *your* argument that open source code
should be released as public domain then present it as *your*
argument since is certainly not *my* argument.
Sincerely, Rjack :)
... so poor rjack has a problem, he wants to steal some code GPL
code but does not dare. so he tries to talk the code writers into
using BSD licence, so that he can legally steal their code. oh, and
is he upset that they dont want to licen? you can bet on that ...
oh my, you should have spent your energy on learning ... but so ..
just words in the wind ... LOL
