Well there's a reason why it's called FreeBSD. The original BSD license allows the software to be considered closed or proprietary, but on the other hand FreeBSD's license is a by the people for the people based on RMS or Dr.Richard Stallmans' ideas which is any aspect of the software can be modified as long as you credit FreeBSD and Sony in this case.
