They have zero in common with free libre software. BSD is solely a tool for them to make a proprietary carrier.
In best case, they don't care about licenses. In worst cases, they back stab and FUD GPL and GNU, try to fragment it, troll out its developers, disguise as those with better openness.
Second, I don't like Disney for the amount of DRM and anti-freedom laws it created. Disney actively propagandizes its products and characters, that share nothing with cultural value, to then rip-off the money. All this strongly contradicts with artist spirit btw. Maybe Walter Disney was completely different, but his company is nothing but a bad boy for ages.
I strongly dislike Sony for exactly same thing. In fact Sony and Disney are very related. For example, they both lobby patents in codecs, media encryption and locked up playback devices. Both Disney and Sony started Bluray, say can BSD decode and play legally purchased Bluray? No, it cant, because its nothing but a toolkit. One of the toolkits among on your list. Btw, you yourself are a tool too (as an engineer), so there is no real reason they dislike you, so long you confirm and work cheap for them.
Sony recently release a console, which uses all-BSD, but is not BSD-compatible, nor in any slightest sense open. It also likes to bash ANYONE who try to even remotely produce a fan-based product (this is shared with Nintendo a lot).
You sure have a bunch of good friends here...
I dislike Nvidia for being selfish, monopolistic, ignorant - but I like that their products just worked over decades.
Thirdly, lets imagine those big names use your software, but break the BSD license. They do NOT mention you in ANY of their credits.
Please tell how will you apply to the court with this BSD license?
