Why is money needed to achieve this licensing goal?

I just looked at older conversations on the mailing list, I think this provides a bit of explanation:

So he wants a certain amount of money, essentially a payment to change the license. I don't understand the connection to hiring a lawyer but whatever...

Tarver claims the current license is more open than the GPL. I don't understand the basis for that claim.

Why does he need a lawyer to do a BSD license?

He used an estimate of what it would take to have a lawyer draft a new licence to price simply changing it to BSD.
