[License-review] New legacy license for approval: BSD-1-Clause

[Pedro Giffuni]

Hello;

While doing a sweep through the FreeBSD code tree, I found yet another
variant of the BSD license which I have dubbed BSD-1-Clause license:

Rationale:

The license was originally used by Berkeley Software Design, a
commercial fork of the Berkeley Software Distribution, as a further
simplification of the traditional BSD license. Unlike the so-called 0BSD
license, which is much more recent, it preserves the original form and
wording of the BSD license, and is a complement to existing simplifications
like the 3-Clause-BSD and 2-Clause-BSD licenses.

Proliferation category:

Licenses that are popular and widely used or with strong communities


As a sidenote I'll say the license variant is not popular, but the code
will be at least in FreeBSD for the foreseeable future and there is no
real reason to add more clauses to the existing code.
