Saying RMS said that BSD is unacceptable is an exaggeration. The FSF does list BSD in its directory of free licenses. It's just that the FSF promotes copyleft licenses more.

Hence, for a Free software proponent, BSD type
license becomes unacceptable because it allows for somebody eventually
to close the source for a program and deny the above mentioned NATURAL
RIGHT to someone else.

P.S. Personally i prefer Free Software concept, however i'm not religous
about it as RMS is.
