The intersting thing about the BSD license is that it does not forbid
modifications in form of adding restrictions in the license it only states
(besides the other unrelated conditions )
* Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
It does not state "and nothing else" which makes it possible to add
restrictions, it contains no copyleft.
