That license is rather short, not much longer than the license notice from [1]. So I wonder if centralising this is worth the effort. (It also adds one level of indirection.) The longest part of BSD-2 is the warranty disclaimer. Not sure if it would be wise to remove this from individual files. Note that e.g. the GPL license notice comes with a "no warranty" paragraph.
