FSF is Free Software Foundation www.fsf.org
<br>
<br>GPL is a license that "protects" the authors
<br>ownership of said items (source code) so
<br>others do not infringe on the copyright filed
<br>or not. It is long winded and silly, I suspect
<br>will not stand up in court scrutiny. Berkley
<br>license is short and to the point.

<br>Thank you all for your inputs!

<br><br>Onward I go!
<br><br>BTW, what is the difference
