It is not. Inventing a new license is almost always wrong.

This is not what the tarball says. The distribution is the tarball -
I think we can (legally) disregard any statemnts elsewhere. The
tarball has a COPYING (BSD), but the source files have no license
statement, just a (c). This is broken: AFAIK all files should state
the license.
