I wouldn't either had he stopped there (and perhaps been a shade less overtly hostile to someone giving their work away for free). Instead he followed it up with

"Maximum amount of freedom to potential users" is somehow mass-surveilance of every computer user thanks to the BSD license. Thanks for your contribution to "freedom."

No problems with that either. Tanembaum did unwittingly contribute to the biggest mass surveillance program ever rolled out worldwide, and all he had to say about it was “they didn’t thank me”. That asshole deserves all the criticism that lands on his feet.
