Nonsensical, inconsistent opinions aren't very popular, you're right. There is no reason to like BSD/MIT because they allow "sharing" but dislike the GPL because people should pay for software, except that one allows you to personally profit from the work of others without giving back, and the other does not.
Meanwhile, IBM makes billions in "bogus" revenue based on Linux solutions, and Red Hat had $1.3 billion in "bogus" revenue last year.
