OpenBSD folks would consider the GPL to be less open due to the requirement to apply the GPL to any derivative works.

And GNU folks would say the GPL is actually the more open choice because it forces the project to stay open.

Two different ways of thinking about it I guess... it's nice to have choices and I don't think one is more or less "correct", more a matter of opinion/taste I guess.
