-   In the GNU Project we usually recommend people use <a
-       href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a> licenses like GNU
-   GPL, rather than permissive non-copyleft free software licenses.  We
-   don't argue harshly against the non-copyleft licenses&#8212;in fact, we
-   occasionally recommend them in special circumstances&#8212;but the
-   advocates of those licenses show a pattern of arguing harshly against
-   the <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym>.

-   In one such argument, a person stated that his use of one of the
-   BSD licenses was an "act of humility": "I ask nothing of those who
-   use my code, except to credit me."  It is rather a stretch to
-   describe a legal demand for credit as "humility", but there is a
-   deeper point to be considered here.

-   Humility is abnegating your own self interest, but you and the one
-   who uses your code are not the only ones affected by your choice of
-   which free software license to use for your code.  Someone who uses
-   your code in a non-free program is trying to deny freedom to
-   others, and if you let him do it, you're failing to defend their
-   freedom.  When it comes to defending the freedom of others, to lie
-   down and do nothing is an act of weakness, not humility.

-   Releasing your code under one of the BSD licenses, or some other
-   permissive non-copyleft license, is not doing wrong; the program is
-   still free software, and still a contribution to our community.
-   But it is weak, and in most cases it is not the best way to
-   promote users' freedom to share and change software.
