"1.3. Does the FreeBSD license have any restrictions?

Yes. Those restrictions do not control how you use the code, 
merely how you treat the FreeBSD Project itself. If you
have 
serious license concerns, read the actual
license."


The final word "license" is a
link to the "FreeBSD Copyright" 
page.


A simple Google search will reveal many people using the 
term
the same way they use any other license name, as 
well
as projects licensing under "the FreeBSD license" 
and even "a variant of the FreeBSD license". Even the
FSF 
includes it on their license list as
"FreeBSD license".

Google hits:
"freebsd
license": 14,100
"the freebsd license": 2630
"freebsd-style license": 327
"similar to the freebsd
license": 452
"2-clause BSD": 631
"simplified BSD": 254
