Their copyright terms cannot be changed.  They are fixed.

Yes, they are Free and Open Source Software.  I.e., they can be used for
private use, public use, commercial use, military or government use.  There
are no restrictions on how they can be used.  That's freedom.  That's not
the case for the GPL.  The GPL restricts usage to code complying with
certain, more restrictive, beliefs ...

Like I said to Brad:

"Even if the GPL initiated the FOSS movement, it's not FOSS anymore by
comparison."
