Where is the BSD license ?

There is 150 packages in core/extra/community that expect BSD license to be a rather common license and one to be included in /usr/share/licenses/common because they do not use the custom tag.

I found too that the BSD license is a rather common one.

So is there a good reason why it's not in licenses package ?

from wp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses
there is a least 3 licenses. One could expect alias like BSD2 or BSD3.

or the other way is to fix the 150 packages ??
This task depends upon

If you have a look at the copies of the "BSD" licences included in these packages, there is a vast range of actual licences.
