Sorry if I sound rude, but did you ever read the BSD license? http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html It says in the first sentence: "Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met..." I'd say you can use BSD licensed code for your own projects as long as you provide the copyright message (with is stated below the part I quoted above ;). Which is, by the way, a reason for several producers of WLAN routers to switch from Linux to *BSD: They can alter the source code, compile it, ship their own devices with it, without having to provide the source code.
