I also wouldnt/cant contribute to GPL licensed software, due to personal reasons and well restrictions set by employers at times. I actually avoid all use of GPL software in development whenever possible which is 90% of the time. My preference is when it comes to using software, well for customers or products, the BSD licensed software always wins, even if it requires more work.<br>

Just curious why you look at it that way, Bret.<br>
<br>
The only reason I could see why someone would decline to contribute<br>
to a GPLd project would seem to be handily dealt with merely by<br>
dual-licensing your code GPL and BSD.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, it may be that you're complaining about *having to<br>
assign your copyright to Digium*, which would be an entirely different<br>
issue: you would be unhappy that they could then themselves dual-license<br>
it commercially.<br>
<br>
Is that the situation that troubles you?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
