Hm.  The license says

  3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution.

And part of 'This notice' is a copyright line that varies from package
to package.  Since the license text is very short, it seems simplest
for packages to keep reproducing the license text --- it's not too
painful disk space-wise and it is much clearer license-wise.

So I don't believe it belongs in common-licenses.

Thanks,
Jonathan
