Another 2-clause BSD or a mistake?



Hello,

In the midst of performing QA work on unworkable [1], I found the buf.c
file with the following copyright notice on its header:

-- >8 --
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions
are met:

   notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

-- >8 --

This is not the BSD 2-clause variant, as it includes the non-endorsement
clause from the 3-clause one, and excludes the actual second clause.
Does anyone know if that is actually a BSD variant, and if so, what its
name is? If it is not a BSD variant, how should it be dealt with/named?
