licenses

This is why Apple went with the BSD license, and I imagine that the BSD license is looking much more appealing to the start-up crowd at this point.

That is the ONLY place I would be looking if I wanted to make money on software I did not create myself.

Nothing wrong with the GPL if that is what you are looking for (recognition, tinkering ability, etc.). Great for a new programmer to use to get his/her name out there.

Financial returns for code are easier to get using the BSD--of course, the financial return the programmer may be wanting is that for a job. To each their own...
