Tbh, they don't seem to be too much different from eachother.
But, of coarse, I didn't read each entirely :)

So it would seem. :)

The greatest difference between them is that the (L)GPL requires anyone who distributes the program to also distribute or link to its (possibly modified) source code, while the common BSD-style license lacks that requirement. Using a BSD license is pretty much equivalent to placing code in the public domain, except it requires any users of the code to acknowledge that usage.

So, when are you going to press charges against ark_su for not publishing his client's source :P

Even if I wanted to, I know that I wouldn't stand a chance of winning such a suit in Russia. ;)
