I doubt that is the *entire* reason, but it most certainly is *one*.

*THE ADVERTISINBG CLAUSE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE GPL*

Of course the FSF is going to fix this problem. They have successfully
gotten people to change from the 4 clause BSD license to the 3 clause
BSD license (the latter being GPL compatible). WHen that fails, a fork
of the code or a re-write of it.
