    What a clueless idiot.

    You CAN'T relicense any code, except the one you wrote.
    You can do what you want with the code under the BSD license (that's because BSD people aren't communists, they value liberty) but of course you can't relicense it or take the credit for it.

    The big and evil corporations *include* BSD code in their products, they don't (they *can't*) relicense it or take credit for it.

    Nobody can "close up" BSD code: it will always be available for any use, because BSD code is born to be free. GNU/"F"SF/GPL code has never been.
