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.

[sabinati]

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. ;)
