I think this completely boils down to a BSD vs GPL question.  The GPL 
and other copyleft licenses (like the RPSL claims to be) serve a purpose 
that the BSD does not and assigning your copyright to someone who then 
goes and uses it in a proprietary product weakens that.

Not that I have anything against the BSD.  The project I have spent the 
most time on is under a BSD like license.
