I had a chat with ulm. BSD-4 is really BSD-3 because of the following line that I missed: >3. [This condition was removed.] According to ulm, the appropriate licenses are BSD HPND ISC LGPL-2.1+ rc PCRE. PCRE isn't in the tree yet, but it needs to be introduced as part of as-is cleanup. Also, the license that resembled intel-ucode is effectively BSD-3.
