Thank you for investigation, but it's a BSD 3-Clause license.  It's easy
to check, because there are *3 clauses* in the license text:

    ;; Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or
    ;; without modification, are permitted provided that the following
    ;; conditions are met:
    ;; 1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
    ;;    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
    ;; 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above
    ;;    copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following
    ;;    disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials
    ;;    provided with the distribution.
    ;; 3. Neither the names of the copyright holders nor the names of
    ;;    any contributors may be used to endorse or promote products
    ;;    derived from this software without specific prior written
    ;;    permission.


As a tip,  we have a ‘licensecheck’ program in Guix package collection,
which could parse a source code file and tell a license.


Also don't forget a dot at the end in commit message.


Pushed with changes above as 5d818b3557cc3b546d5bd0639359c14c7c0ab685

I'll close the bug report.

Thanks,
Oleg.
