>> "The BSD license allows the software to be made non-free."

Let's clarify: Technically, it allows the copy (distributed with the proprietary software) to become non-free, though the original and any other copies of the original are still free. Technically, BSD is more "free" than GPL to the first copier, even if not so to everyone else who obtains it from the first copier. The "subjective interpretation" then is from the point of view of the next guy in line.
