From Richard:

I've noticed that a very common variant of what I think of as the 3-clause BSD license has this as its third clause:

3. The name of the author may not be used to endorse or promote
   products derived from this software without specific prior
   written permission.

Am I right that such a license, otherwise matching[1] what SPDX calls 'BSD-3-Clause', would not be considered a match to 'BSD-3-Clause' because clause 3 does not say 'Neither the name of the author nor the name of its contributors...'?

Asking because this seems to be the case from a strict reading of the SPDX matching guidelines, yet the result also seems to violate its spirit.

[1]The non-use of 'contributors' results in changes to the stock disclaimer language too. I don't think it is clear whether this too would result in a non-match under the SPDX guidelines.
