Take a look at Stallman's page about FreeBSD license and how

religion.
That page is a load of b*s*, because the LGPL requires just the same:
your program must show the LGPL.
Of course you must show the license, but requiring all derived works
to link to your web page in a readme or about box is something
completely different. This sort of advertising clause is in fact
incompatible with both the GPL and the LGPL. That's why the
advertising clause in the new XFree86 license was so controversial,
and why the X.Org fork was created.
