That is a good point. My personal impression (but not really an informed
opinion: I am ready to change my mind if I hear good arguments), is that if the
license text is not identical to the reference BSD license, then it is not the
BSD license.
Note that if you pick BSD-1 as a keyword, it looks like a versionned short
name. How about BSD-like ?
