I've seen BSD developers switch to GPL because of too many freeloaders were repackaging and selling their code with a minimal frontend without even respecting proper author credit. There was even a counter-rant by Zed Shaw "The Long Beard's Revenge".

There's a growing feeling of discontent with the startup-brogrammer-douchebag subgroup, as it's becoming a significant part of the whole startup scene. IMHE

I found both of Zed's essays to be entirely unconvincing and lacking in evidence. A dearth of new open source projects? Really?? He admits that the GPL makes it hard for people to choose to use it which he counter-intuitively prefers. Ugh.
