The quoted license is word for word identical to the Expat license[2] (also known as "MIT license", which however is an ambiguous name...). [2] http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt I hence suggest that you change the license description as follows: s/is licensed under BSD license/is licensed under the Expat license/ and completely omit the reference to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD, which is actually an unrelated license...
