FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertaintay, Doubt.  The author misses the
entire point of the BSD license, which is that commercial vendors (or
anyone for that matter) are free to use the cade as they deem fit, so long
as they acknowledge the originator.  He really doesn't understand that no
one cares if the code is integrated into someone elses commercial venture,
and they keep the changes to themselves.
