As I mention in a reply to the sibling comment, I don't fault the developer for choosing a free software license that suits their purposes. I just don't think it's fair to blame the GPL for the incompatibility that happens when a developer chooses a 4-clause BSD license.

(Also, remember that the developer could always dual-license - ie, "GPL or 4-clause BSD - if you want to use my software in proprietary code, then you have to advertise me").
