So what ? your point is moot. Everyone here knows what the BSD licence is: do what the fuck you want with the code. The only thing you're not allowed to do is claim you wrote it when you didn't. The licence does NOT prevent you from doing bad, evil things. Your moral compass should. If that annoys you, go back to the carebears GPL land.
