BSD or BSD-source-clause-only ? (was Re: [devscripts] 01/01: licensecheck: fix BSD-2-clause detection..._

[Dominique Dumont]

Hello

I've recently fixed licensecheck to correctly detect BSD-2-clauses licenses.

When only one clause is used, licensecheck mentions "BSD" license. 

Turns out that there's no "official" BSD 1 clause license.

The only "official" BSD licenses [1] are:
- BSD-2-clause 
- BSD-3-clause

I fear that using "BSD" keyword for a reduced BSD-2-clause license may induce 
people in wrongly believing that this license is "official". 

The other option is to use a keyword like "BSD-source-clause-only". This is 
more accurate but is quite long.

What do you think ?

All the best
