So GPL'd software is highly valuable where BSD'd software is just hobbyist stuff...because of the license?
Less loaded (and more accurate) one-liners might be...
GPL: you may use this code, provided you follow rules representing my views on software freedom.
BSD: you may use this code however you see fit.
Which approach fits with your personal philosophy depends on you. But certainly BSD does nothing to lessen the highly valuable software licensed with it. OpenSSH, sudo, and many others, for instance.
