Both ZLIB and BSD gives the end-user the same freedom for modifying the software and use for whatever purpose. The only difference is how the copyright notice must be reproduced: (1) for ZLIB, the copyright must be retained in the source-code and (2) for BSD (Simplified BSD License), the copyright must be retained in the source-code and ADDED to the binary form and documentation.

Sorry for my (probably) stupid question, but why so much attention is paid to reproducing the copyright notice?

Does it give some benefits to Lua authors?
Why not using extremely permissive license like the following:
