This is another case of an open source developer choosing a license for personal gain instead of the good of the community. People blindly choose MIT/BSD licenses for personal benefit need to understand what they are allowing. They reap the rewards with recognition, jobs (companies seeing you as an open source developer), praise, or in the case of companies, developer mindshare. But then someone does something the license allows but the author doesn't like, and suddenly the person obeying the license is at wrong.
Point is, understand what you are allowing with your license choice and accept that you are okay with everything it allows. If you don't want to allow something, include it in the license.
