The libbsd COPYING fine appends the copyright holder to a number of common
licenses like BSD-3-clause-John-Birrell and BSD-4-clause-Niels-Provos. That's
probably because each COPYING entry lists specific files with their copyright
holders. We usually only use the SPDX identifier string. So I don't think
there is a reason to do that for this license.

The full list is only in a comment, AFAICS. The actual effective line is
rather shorter than what we have following this patch:
LICENSE = "BSD-4-Clause & ISC & PD"
