Sorry -- I read the above, with preceding quotes, several times and
just can't make out what you're talking about.  Are you saying the
BSDL uses the phrase "free software"?  I can't find the word "free"
anywhere in the BSDL.  Are you saying people who mix the BSDL with GPL
software may get confused by the term "free software"?  That's then
clearly their fault for not reading the GPL first.  If neither of
these, just what are you talking about?
