I thought BSD being free was part of the consent decree from AT&T vs Regents. The technology transfer office would never sign off on open source license, even in the early 2000s. You would have to make and end run around them to office of general council to start a new open source project, once granting agencies started requesting open source. Even if you did end run around tech transfer, you could not use a license that mentioned anything about patents (UC does not want to give away patents, but giving away copy rights was permissible)
