On looking into this further. This does indeed look like the FreeBSD
license. The BSD license has three points where the third is:

"3. The name of the author may not be used to endorse or promote
products derived from this software without specific prior written
permission."

In the copyright notice for this package[0], this third point is
missing. On the GNU license list[1] for the information about the
FreeBSD license:

"This is the original BSD license with the advertising clause and
another clause removed. (It is also sometimes called the “2-clause BSD
license”.)"

The license in my package looks more like the FreeBSD than the original,
or modified, BSD license. Or is this more suited to -legal?!
