I don't know why so many people think compelling code to be shared is practical, desirable, or better than leaving it up to choice, but GPL is definitely not more free than BSD license.
Anyone who doesn't want to comply with the conditions of the GPL is simply a freeloader. Complaining that your freedoms are restricted because to take other's work you also need to share your own changes to it (and even that condition depends on you distributing the modified software) does not elicit sympathy with me.
BSD is freer license (you can do more with the code, including releasing binaries based on the original source w/o releasing the source of the improvements), GPL is a license for freer code (you are not allowed to release binary derivatives w/o releasing the source of the improvements).
