You clearly did not read the FSF manifestos and don't understand their positions. They will call the BSD license "permissive" and will correct you if you attempt to call BSD "free/libre".
> Why would it matter
The FSF didn't build "open source." They actively work to discredit open source. Let's not give them credit for what they tirelessly denounce.
Linux is open source, but did not adopt the GPL3. Firefox is open source but uses MPL. If the FSF is a leader who is responsible for all of these great projects, why doesn't anyone want to use their license?
