Is it? Thats a mouthful. And technically not true, since there is a
restriction, which is that you must keep the copyright notices in tact.

Well, were not use *the* BSD license, since our version is not the most
current. However I do think that adding the "-style" will only confuse
people, so I am all for leaving it out since afaik we are using *a* BSD
license.

BTW - On the web page we call it a licence.
