Why?

That is false, from the BSD license:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

   Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
   notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

The "list of conditions and the following disclaimer" refer to the
copying conditions.

The BSD and GPL are similar in this respect, at least if I understand
what you are getting at.
