Because it helps to raise the bar of software quality for everyone, everywhere. BSD code can be used anywhere with no real strings attached, so it makes a logical foundation from which to build yet higher. BSD software makes the world a better place because people don't have to worry about reimplementing the exact same damn piece of code from scratch, simply because the license terms are unacceptable for their project. How much time has been wasted by the GNU folks alone recoding "free" versions of programs for which BSD versions have existed for decades?
