It actually has some text in common with the Beer-ware license.  At
least if this is the license of the entire package, or a substantial
part of it, I would suggest an identifier specific to this license,
perhaps "Diane Bruce [License]" (if I'm correct that the
author/licensor here is the FreeBSD developer Diane Bruce).
