Ugh, don't fix this bug this way.

We should instead atempt to pass a general resolution that either:

1) Ensures we're talking about the 3-clause (or better yet, 2-clause)
   BSD license in DFSG#10.

2) Repeal DFSG#10 altogether (as discussed on -legal recently).

If we're going to endorse a license in the DFSG, the least we can do is
endorse the most desirable variant of it.
