If I want to see my software widely used and don't care about the fact that the end user may not be able to modify it, I would choose the BSD license.
are you sure bsd-style licenses forbid enduser modification? Most of the internet is down for me, so i couldnt verify this
It is not modifiable onces it is incorporated into proprietary product, which is what end user may get most of the times.
once it gets into a proprietory product, that product is no longer under a bsd style license, but the main branch is still available and modifiable
