| Yep.  True.  The only problem is that if Charles Mott makes changes at
| a later date to his codebase, changes cannot be merged to the FreeBSD
| version without permission from him, even if the patches apply cleanly
| and break nothing that FreeBSD uses.

This is true of any software. Just because one version is BSDL doesn't
mean future versions will be. He's the author he can release under whatever
license he wants to (and more power to him).
