Hello SPDX-Legal,

I have come across the license below several times now.  It is generally stated 
to be the "BSD license".

It is the SPDX BSD-3-Clause minus clause 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".

Below is an example for the CocoaHTTPServer.  Other project that use this 
license include TaffyDB (taffy.js), CocoaLumberjack, and several projects 
produced by Deusty LLC.

This license is not hugely popular, but the attribution  as the "BSD License" 
for multiple projects is potentially confusing which may merit a separate SPDX 
license if for no other reason than avoiding confusion regarding this being THE 
BSD license.
