1. That right is actually inherent in the copyright statutes of various
jurisdictions.
2. The various versions of the BSD licence also contain a
no-endorsements clause. (Users of the software are barred from
using the name of the organization or contributors to endorse or
promote products.)
3. They have no provisions covering any necessary patent grant or
warranty of copyright ownership. People who are considering BSD
licensing might well consider the Academic Free License, which
is similar (non-copyleft) but better drafted.
