But there is no such requirement exist in a BSD License. No essential parts of FreeBSD should be covered by any licenses that enforces more restrictions than the BSD License. FreeBSD don't use glibc, etc. for this reason, in the base system. star is in the FreeBSD ports collection. So what's your question?
