Ignoring the US government contract language as we do, I believe this
is a nonsubstantive variant of `BSD-3-Clause` that SPDX has not
encountered yet, if I'm reading this correctly:
<item>
<bullet>3.</bullet>
<alt
match="(The\s+name\s+of.+may\s+not)|(Neither\s+the\s+names?\s+of.+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+its\s+contributors\s+may)|(Neither\s+the\s+names?\s+of.+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+their\s+contributors\s+may)|(\s*Neither\s+the\s+name\s+of.+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+its\s+authors\s+and\s+contributors\s+may)|(Neither\s+the\s+name\s+of.+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+(specific\s+)?contributors,?\s+may)|(Neither\s+the\s+name.+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+contributors\s+may)|(The\s+names\s+of\s+its\s+contributors\s+may\s+not)|(The\s+names\s+of\s+any\s+contributors\s+may\s+not)|(The\s+names\s+of\s+the\s+contributors\s+may\s+not)|(None\s+of\s+the\s+names\s+of.+and\s+any\s+contributors\s+may)|(Neither\s+my\s+name.+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+contributors\s+to\s+this\s+code\s+may)|(Neither\s+name\s+of\s+copyright\s+holders\s+nor\s+the\s+names\s+of\s+its\s+contributors\s+may)"
name="organizationClause3">
Neither the name of the copyright holder nor the
names of its contributors may</alt>
be used to endorse or promote products derived from this
<alt match="software|work" name="software">software</alt> without
<optional>specific</optional> prior written permission. <alt
match="(To obtain permission, contact .*)?" name="contact"></alt>
</item>
So if this was encountered in a Fedora or potential Fedora package, an
issue should be opened at fedora-license-data as well as
github.com/spdx/license-list-XML.
