Why do you feel that there is a need for a non-template BSD-like 
license? Is there a problem with the current templatized licenses I am 
not aware of?

If you need to simply refer to a license by name instead of including 
the full text, simply say "This software is copyright blah blah blah. 
See the file LICENSE for complete license and copyright information".
