Ok, so it's license philosophy rather than any actual license legality problematics, I can understand that.

If someone wanted to produce a FreeBSD derivative would they really need to be able to ship a modified version of git?

Suffice to say, FreeBSD's current stance on licensing is that new GPL2 software in base is unacceptable, and the goal is to get to no GPL2 software in base.

Probably not, but then it wouldn't be "Free".
