I also think that Harald's alternate language would work.  

Is it a problem that this means that shipping code's license could
change at some time in the future?  Are there practical issues to that
if (for instance) the Trust decided to change from BSD to some
copyleft-like license?  Note that I'm thinking of shipping, and not
already deployed, code.  So one develops based on the BSD-licensed
code, and then the license changes and you ship another instance.  Is
this a problem?  I'm assuming not, because the original licensee still
has the code under the original terms.  But I thought it wouldn't hurt
to ask.
