BSD is Free Software. Having no bar is not a restriction. It's an extra Freedom. One can easily take BSD licensed code and make it proprietary / GPL. You need to understand that the Free Software definition has got nothing to do with the GNU GPL. The BSD license provides the four necessary freedoms and thus is Free Software, similar to Public Domain software.
