Oh, you are correct on the license.  At first glance, it does resemble 4-clause
BSD ... but it has 6 clauses, of course, and is essentially a clone of Apache
Software License 1.0 with "Proxool" substituted for "Apache".

I have sent an email to the maintainer.  As it stands, the proper license for
the package should literally be "Proxool License", but I'm going to hope that
he comes back with the other authors and a decision to adopt a less restrictive
license (like ASL 2.0 or revised BSD).

Does a license like this require approval from legal, or is it sufficient to
diff it against ASL 1.0 and say "these are the same"?  If it does not require
separate approval, I'll just change the LICENSE line and finish up the review,
and if/when the maintainer updates the license upstream, I can update the
package.  If it has to go through a process to be added to the license list,
though, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
