Generally, it would be okay just to state the license name. However,
because of the wide variety of BSD licenses out there, I worry that
there might be multiple 3 clause BSD licenses and it's unclear which
the author intended. Maybe there aren't as many as I think. I'll leave
it for others to discuss.
