what else to says - steve and other guys have well explained the "Reason" for this so called 'forcing' If BSD guys like to help every "daam insect" on planet then please "always code in public domain" No restriction atall.
Also - Your perception on 'freedom is wrong' - you try speak from a hill where you says -- "lets try to work in a system every developer can edit and use code in any manner and that include the evil guys too. look at small BSD devilish logo" GPLs guys speak from a hill where they want "freedom of code" and make sure it should reach to maximum.
come to the point - you are the guy who is having so much fun enjoying the real freedom given to you by jquery
jQuery is fun because it has so lots of plugins and very easy development procedure. cross platform is a +ve. jQuery is GPL+MIT , its dual license. One cannot hide JavaScript code. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dorischen/archive/2010/08/27/top-8-reasons-why-jquer... Success of jQuery do not comes from its license. (IMHO). also many plugins and other code I see are also dual licensed like jQuery.
Some more point i was to express : jQuery is a API or Library which eveyone can use, so there is no point in taking its code and making a proprietary API, so jQuery example we can not compare with a Software or Operating system which is MIT/BSD. One cannot hide source code of jQuery or Javascript, so it is different then the software which are shipped into binary format. Also, Developer-base (number of developers) who write and use jQuery is very large. For as long as the nature and purpose of jQuery concerned , I admit, MIT+GPL was most suitable license for jQuery. But If I were given the choice to make an application using jQuery, then I will always prefer GPL or AGPL...
