A BSD license without a patent grant gives you less safety than a BSD license with a bad patent grant. If you're not ok with Facebook's BSD+Patents, then you shouldn't be ok with BSD alone either. There are licenses with a decent papent grant (notably, Apache) but BSD and MIT aren't among them. If you're all up in arms about Facebook's OSS licensing and at the same time use OSS that is licensed without a patent grant at all then you're a hypocrite.
