It actually isn't in common-licenses, because /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD is specific to the Regents of the University of California. [It is a commonly used license, but every time someone besides the UC Regents uses it, they modify the original clause three (which was deleted by the UC Regents), or clause four, so no one else can reference common-licenses.] > Which brings me to the quandary of what to put inside > debian/copyright.
