Hmmm.  On the one hand, when the DFSG was written, that would be the
correct reference.  On the other hand, we don't want people who look at
the DFSG and say "what license should I use" to pick the old BSD
license.  Since it is misleading to point the link to the new BSD
license, I would sooner suggest that the link be removed entirely, since
the original DFSG was probably a text document with no links at all.
