Or for the rest of you.

esr has in fact been favourable towards BSD for well over a decade.
Until Linux came along, he had intended to use BSD (probably BSD/OS)
as his main system.  That changed, of course, but in 1999 he quoted
from a draft of a book he was writing that the BSD license was the
freest of the licenses.  I assume it made it into the book, but I've
forgotten which one it was.
