I see no relevance in your link to equating GPL to BSD?

The link talks about FOSS and Open Source Software NOT being the same mindset.. and I definetely concur with him.. GPL however is FOSS.. but trying to steal copyrighted stuff (which is what the link is about) can be done by any stupid person.. no matter the license.. so I see no relevance ?

GPL is the new BSD. Feel free to violate it, there will be no consequences.

My experience with Harvey confirms that: a Google engineer removed my Copyright statements so that my name completely disappeared from the code base (thus violating GPL).

Months later, instead of adding back those statements, they git rebased the repository (still preserving some of my changes, but squashed with other changes without citation).
