Personally am asking myself what the benefits of the BSD clause compared to a more restrictive license are. The only reason I personally can see is that they want to have to option to close the browser themself in the future.

Believe it or not, plenty of people prefer permissive licenses because they grant more freedom. Not everyone agrees with the GPL.

    If you want ultimate freedom, just put it to public domain at the beginning.

      Yup. All licensing is about brokering control. The only license that grants true freedom is no license, i.e. public domain. Everything else is a “where’s the control” shell game.
