License proliferation is bad because
  - it creates incompatibilities,
  - it creates doubt about the intent.

Here they have already 5 variations. We have been using the FSFULLR variant
so far. It will not cost them much to add a 6th one, like FSFULLRWD just
with a shorter second sentence.

I don't see how that would
  - create incompatibilities, or
  - create doubt about the intent.

So we should we fine, even if some people need to update their pattern-
matcher used for automated SPDX classification.
