BSD or BSDish or Public Domain is still Free Software (as well as Open

You might want to use copyleft and non-copyleft to differentiate
between BSDish and GPLish software.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
