Use is irrelevant because as far as copyright is concerned, it is
permitted per 17 USC 117 and the BSD doesn't seek to override 17
USC 117 "user rights" in contractual manner. Regarding derivative
works beyond the scope of 17 USC 117 adaptations (note that 17 USC
117 adaptations may be transferred/distributed only with the
authorization of the copyright owner), the modified source code
must retain the BSD license: different license is not allowed.
