Great. So yes, that would be nice. So Jilayne, if we could get a generic identifier for this license statement, maybe just call it 'Hybrid-BSD' [*], that would be really helpful. BTW. I happen to be one of the upstream maintainers of bzip2 and of valgrind, which both use this license variant for some of the code. So we could do a release that explicitly uses a generic name for this if that helps.
