I was a bit worried by the "ish" regarding the licence, but it seems to be under a normal 3-clause BSD licence:

3-clause BSD

I just had this dilemma on a piece of software I released. I wanted to say
it was "BSD", but the anal retentive side of me couldn't bring myself to
call it "BSD" when neither the abbreviation "BSD" nor even the word
"Berkeley" appear in the license.

Try 'New BSD License'

The licence is given on the project homepage as 'New BSD License' and
is linked it to the www.opensource.org for details.
