Evidemment ca ca les arrange bien hein. Selon le coté duequel on se place on peut dire que la license BSD est plus libre que la GPL parce qu'elle n'impose pas de remettre les sources modifiés sous GPL et autorise a produire du code sous licence plus restrictive.
Bref, il l'ont bien compris pour porter un vieux client FTP sur leur environnement. Manque de bol, la souche utilisée est très vieille et buguée, ca fait les affaires de sociétés tierce qui proposent des client FTP qui tiennent la route.
En fait ce qui dérange MS dans la GPL c'est que s'ils prenaient des bouts de code GPL pour faire leur sauce, il seraient obligés de mettre le fruit de leur travaux en GPL et donc accessible à tous...
La différence majeure se trouve là (désolé c'est de l'anglais)

# Piller le code GPL ca les arrangerait bien...
