At least one CCL allows no derivation under any terms, which would at
least raise an issue, I'd hope.  I'm not aware of any CCLs in FreeBSD
other than the two GNU licenses (but I haven't looked for others).

From
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/pref-license.html

    The FreeBSD project discourages completely new licenses and
    variations on the standard licenses. New licenses require the
    approval of <core@FreeBSD.org> to reside in the main
    repository. The more different licenses that are used in the tree,
    the more problems that this causes to those wishing to utilize
    this code, typically from unintended consequences from a poorly
    worded license.

I doubt if no-commercial-use licenses would be approved for use in the
base OS, because of the previously-mentioned sale of CDROMs.
