At least with regard to the BSD license part it probably isn't. 
There is only one canonical "GPLv2" (a copy of which is included
in the kernel tree), but there are quite a number of different
variants of the "BSD" license:

- 4-clause BSD license (with "advertising clause" and
                        with "endorsement clause")
- 3-clause BSD license (without "advertising clause", but
                        with "endorsement clause")
- 2-clause BSD license (without "advertising clause" and
                        without "endorsement clause")

In addition to the these three major types, the exact terms of
the "endorsement clause" can vary quite a bit.

While being at the topic of the "endorsement clause": Is there a
particular reason for Intel being explicitly named here (e.g. 
because the code is based on some previously existing code which
is licensed with this specific wording)?

Karsten
