I'd actually suggest the MIT license instead of the 1,2,4 clause BSD,
and would question why people haev a problem with the GPL; there's
really no reason not to distribute a copyleft work under the GPL if
you actually want the freedom protection that a copyleft license
gives.
Basically, if the source code terms of the GPL cannot be satisfied,
Debian won't distribute it either, because the work does not have
source.
