The point I'm trying to make is that you have to understand the trade-offs. Saying GPL automatically makes it harder for others to use your code is wrong. It depends on what you want and don't want to happen. This also completely ignores the LGPL. Many projects licensed under BSD would benefit from being re-licensed under the LGPL.

There's also no reason why you can't dual-license a product, or license different parts of the same codebase under different licenses (for example, I release the unit test files in my Free Software projects into the public domain).
