Yes, anyone can get a BSD license for very little cash.  The problem is that
you must have an AT&T license (for something like version 7 or so) to get
the full BSD distribution.  If you just want the BSD code (i.e. the stuff
that has no AT&T stuff in it) you can get that for free from archive sites
like uunet.
