Er, the BSD license is still DFSG free, last I checked. And many of
the BSD zealots have a somewhat good argument that the BSD license
is less restrictive and more open than GPL.

I hope any _real_ issues that are pushing for using a non-standard
BSD libc are not simply anti-BSD-license related - Debian FreeBSD
without compatibility with the mainstream FreeBSD distro would be
the logical equivalent of us forking off our own incompatible libc
in Debian Linux and dropping any intention of trying to maintain
compatibility with other Linuces.
