Source-code freedom is user freedom. It's effectively a sort of guarantee.
The additional freedom that BSD licences provide is freedom for developers to do what they like, not anything to do with users.
(The biggest practical advantage of a BSD licence for most developers is that if you use one when publishing your code while you work for a company, you yourself will still be able to reuse that code after you leave.)
