Yesterday (at the meeting) I was explaining how the BSD license is even 
more liberal than the GPL.
Alas, I just ran across this from the netcat(1) man page, pretty funny...

COPYRIGHT
Netcat is entirely my own creation, although plenty of other code was
used as examples. It is freely given away to the Internet community in
the hope that it will be useful, with no restrictions except giving
credit where it is due. No GPLs, Berkeley copyrights or any of that
nonsense. The author assumes NO responsibility for how anyone uses it.
If netcat makes you rich somehow and you’re feeling generous, mail me a
check. If you are affiliated in any way with Microsoft Network, get a
life. Always ski in control. Comments, questions, and patches to hob-
bit at avian.org.
