Perhaps I'm really misunderstanding this but with a BSD license I thought I could:

* Take the code and use it for free

* Take the code and use it for free to make money

* Take the code and add to it and re-release it open-source (as long as I include the same license)

* Take the code and add to it and re-release it closed-source (as long as I include the same license)

Sounds like I've got quite a lot of freedom in what I do with it. The only things that I can't do (as far as I can tell) are:

* Redistribute the code without that license

* Say the the creators endorse my work without permission
