This is related to my question in the last legal team conference call: How to deal with the billions of 'BSD-style'-licenses, the only difference of which is the Copyright notice? The answer was to come up with a license template concept. If I understand this right, we are going to define the reference license text of those licenses with a variable data field included in the text. Is this right?
Sure, but in the case of libpng's license, the difference is more significant than Copyright holder identifiers. It doesn't fundamentally change the license's meaning, but it is technically different text, even if templated.
