Well, the issue might come from the use proper names.
The authors of a proposed license might intend to duplicate an existing
license, but to use their own proper names, perhaps because the existing
license uses proper names.
Changing such licenses to templates (or to use MPL-style attachment)
would help resolve that, so the proposed #13 and #11 may well be
themselves duplicative to some extent.
