<h3>3.8 GPL vs. BSD</h3>
Git is covered by the GPL license whereas Fossil is covered by
a two-clause BSD license.
Consider the difference between GPL and BSD licenses: GPL is designed
to make writing easier at the expense of making reading harder. BSD is
designed to make reading easier and the expense of making writing harder.
To a first approximation, the GPL license grants the right to read
source code to anyone who promises to give back enhancements. In other
words, the act of reading GPL source code (a prerequiste for making changes)
implies acceptance of the license which requires updates to be contributed
back under the same license. (The details are more complex, but the
foregoing captures the essence of the idea.) A big advantage of the GPL
