@toast Seems like they are getting better about this sort of thing, apparently they have also approved the "Zero-clause BSD" license, which is basically BSD but with no restrictions.

I am curious to know how these things are thought of in legal terms, though. I had a vague sense that licenses are contracts and adherence to the restrictions placed in even permissive licenses serves as the consideration received by the owner of the copyright. I suspect that analysis is wrong at least in the case of 0BSD, unless there's some other source of consideration I'm missing.
