It's my opinion that the code is the developer's to do with as they please,
and if they like the BSD license then no one really has a right to argue! If
anything it allows users to do *more* than other licenses, the way I see
it..

Bottom line is it's been decided and the mother's #1 reason of "because I
said so" is good enough for me (and should be for everyone that's not a
developer IMHO)! :-)
