As someone who always prefers the BSD license, I agree with Simon on
#1 and #2. Saying "BSD except..." means it is a new type of license,
one that typical implementers will not expect.
One way to look at this is to consider what happens if someone treats
this as a real BSD license and doesn't give attribution. Is the IETF
Trust really going to sue them over the lack of attribution? If not,
why even have that addition to the BSD license? Like in our technical
protocols, simplicity is good here.
