So I release all my code under the BSD license, specifically because I don't expect or demand patches sent back to me. I don't release it, and then get pissy if people don't send stuff back. I just write it and hope it helps.
If I wanted a license where people couldn't "steal my code", I'd have chosen GPL. That your code may be "stolen" is not a bug, it's a feature of BSD. Theo et al shouldn't be annoyed that someone is actually taking the license at its word.
