Just about all objections against BSD licenses fall in two categories:
1) It can be assimilated
2) It has the nasty advertisement clause. See
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html
I suspect John was talking about the second (he's speaking about /a/ nasty
BSD license, not /the/ nasty BSD license).
Many people prefer BSD-sans-ad-clause to the old BSD license.
