Ahh, nice :) In my experience I have had fairly good success when I've suggested the ISC license to authors of code that didn't have a license that allows redistribution. (I am careful not to push it too hard, I usually just suggest it as a straightforward option they may not have thought of). I have a feeling that it not being called "BSD license" helps in some quarters.
