That's silly, you might as well just use BSD instead of triple
licensing like that.

Another downside to BSD is that it becomes impermissible to improve
Karrigell by transplanting GPL code into it from other programs.  Yet
another downside is that it leads some potential contributors to not
bother getting involved with such projects.  (On the other hand, it
possibly attracts some different potential contributors).

That Python hasn't suffered for it is a questionable assertion.

Of course anyone is entitled to hold any opinion they choose.  I have
to say both notions expressed there (that BSD will attract more users,
and that merely attracting more users produces such big benefits) are
questionable.  As for me, for something like this, I'd be more
interested in attracting more contributors than in merely attracting
more users with me doing all the work.  But what Karrigell's author
wants is of course purely up to the him.
