It differs from BSD-4 and Artistic v2 in that it is not re-licensable and it is copyleft rather than permissive. It differs from GPL in that it's short, Clear, and accessible and it contains Metadata to credit developers within the license.

I understand that you've chosen to name this license 'Berkeley Artistic' because you followed the style of the BSD licenses, but those licenses use that name because they originated at Berkeley, not because someone liked that name :-)

If this license is not associated with UC Berkeley then it seems unwise to use their name for the license, given that their name is a well-known 'brand' in the context of software licenses.
