I disagree (disclaimer: I'm the one who suggested ‘bsd-0’ to Alex 
:-) that accuracy is implied or valuable.  Guix maps 
‘n-clause-BSD’ to ‘bsd-n’, we get (marginally) fewer requests to 
add ‘missing’ licences, all is well with the world.

It's true that the 0-clause BSD licence was based on the ISC text; 
that doesn't make it any less of a BSD licence.  That requires 
claiming that OpenBSD is not under a BSD licence either, which is 
a... certain kind of correct.

Kind regards,

T G-R
