> BSD doesn't remove any freedoms from the original software author, and in fact it unshackles them from having to publish all future development, allowing them to go proprietary in the future if they wish to.
IANAL but as best i can tell, neither apply for GPL.
The changes do not have to go back to the original developer. All that is required is that the code changes are published if ever binaries based on those changes are made public.
And going proprietary is possible if everyone involved agrees. Note the number of multi-license projects out there, including some fairly substantial ones like Qt.
