There's still no problem with that. The only big problem with the BSD license is that Microsoft isn't required to give back their changes to the BSD community.
I don't see anything wrong with commercial companies using Open Source stuff in their products -- as long as they give something back to the community...
I propose we move the discussion to another forum and continue there to talk about a new kind of license incorporating the best of GPL and BSD :)
