Hi,

For that i know the GNU Project is based on the GNU General Public
License (i suppose you are using GPLv3
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt for the kernel KFreeBSD) and
is easy to undestand why:

FreeBSD license   (#FreeBSD)

This is the original BSD license with the advertising clause and
another clause removed. (It is also sometimes called the “2-clause BSD
license”.) It is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software
license, compatible with the GNU GPL.

If you want a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license,
the FreeBSD license is a reasonable choice. However, please don't call
it a “BSD” or “BSD-style” license, because that is likely to cause
confusion which could lead to use of the flawed original BSD license.
