Just curious why you look at it that way, Bret.

The only reason I could see why someone would decline to contribute
to a GPLd project would seem to be handily dealt with merely by
dual-licensing your code GPL and BSD.

On the other hand, it may be that you're complaining about *having to
assign your copyright to Digium*, which would be an entirely different
issue: you would be unhappy that they could then themselves dual-license
it commercially.

Is that the situation that troubles you?
