I have no problem with people choosing different licences, I just find the anti-GPL crowd mildly amusing, when they try to describe it as something evil (more evil than proprietary licences?), yet at the same time they use a licence that allows their code to be commingled with GPL code. I have personally used a range of licences, based on how I think my code can best be used in conjunction with some existing code base. I have even used Creative Commons licences for scripts, since these tend to be a) small and b) distributed in source form.
