Hmm. The www.gnu.org page still has an essay on why the advertising clause is bad, and how until it is removed, the BSD license is not recommended. Given that the advertising clause was removed several months ago by UC Berkeley, they really need to update their page, be it to put it more in line with the current situation, or even declare victory. In any case, much of the criticism doesn't apply to the existing code base due to the licensing change, nor new code submitted under our normal two-clause license.
