Hohum, unfortunate, but not entirely unsurprising for a Linux
Foundation project :{

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.
Thanks,
Mark
