Not tone deaf at all. The BSD license explicitly permits reuse in differently licensed software.

This is the ultimate disagreement of what software freedom means. GPL people think derivatives of their software should remain free. (the viral nature of GPL) Strong BSD proponents believe the freedom to incorporate the software into non-BSD projects (including closed software) is the ultimate freedom.

It sounds like you are more in the copyleft/GPL camp if you are concerned with derivative works remaining compatible with the original license.
