You can do whatever you like.

I'm just saying that when Andrew said "free", it seemed to me that he was using 
the more commonly understood definition of the word: you didn't pay anything 
for FAT, so it's free.

And not to be argumentative, but I picked a random file from edk2 and looked at 
the license.  It pointed me at http://opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php.

And there's nothing at that URL which defines the term "free"...
