Hi,
Would it be possible to add:
BSD 2-clause
to our table of valid licenses?
This is already accepted under the "BSD" moniker for Fedora license tags.
Oh, I see it now:
BSD License (two clause) BSD (...)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/BSD#2ClauseBSD
Aren't we using this plain "BSD" abbreviation too liberally?
If you look at SPDX you'll see that there are BSD licenses and then BSD
licenses, some are ok for FSF, some for OSI, some for both, and some for
none (which is scary) (ref.:
https://spdx.org/licenses/ ).
We want to get closer to the SPDX maybe it is time to use the more specific
abbreviations for these BSD licenses we have.
P.S.: Any interest in adding a SPDX abbrev column to our table? I can try
and help populating it.

This discussion was raised few years ago and stalled. I don't think
it's useful to have a SPDX
abbrev column. It'd be more interesting to switch to SPDX (or refine
our own abbreviations).
