This is why people should start emailing asking for a dual-license that
would support incorporation into FreeBSD.  If I remember my history
right[1], SGI based Irix on BSD extensively and became the first POSIX
compatable BSD.  See if you can play off some sense of loyalty.  Explain
to them that using a dual license would permit even further use of the
product.

Is there a stock "Please use a BSD license instead" letter that is kept
around for these purposes?

[1]  This is always questionable.  And when the history doesn't fit what I
need it to say, I change it anyway:)
