Actually, RMS talked specifically about his problems with the BSD license -
he used X as an example and talked about how proprietary enhancements have
been made to it (think Metro X), that are not contributed back to the
community. BSD allows that (I've heard rumors that NT uses a BSD network
stack :-), GPL does not.

I don't know the chronology, though.
