That is the problem with the BSD license, it says "use my work and don't give anything back". Of course, GPL gets violated too, but would be very difficult by an American company like Netflix.

Since Netflix is NOT deploying it's code/Devices to users it would be exactly the same with a GPL.

>it says "use my work and don't give anything back".

That's not written.

But compared to GPL you just could read the whole BSD-2 license in 1 minute.
