[PD] Is open source better?

[Pall Thayer]

Interesting points. I posted it to github as GPL. It probably doesn't
conform to true GPL though as I didn't put that in all of the source files.
Truth is, I really don't care. If Apple requires a BSD license, that never
would have happened anyway. But this is all getting far away from my
original question.
