This may be a goofy question, but just in case it's not:

Does changing the stock 3-clause BSD license to say "Some rights
reserved" instead of "All rights reserved" make any difference at all to
the meaning of the license?  On the off chance that it actually does,
can the resulting license still be called "BSD"?  I suspect someone's
just being cute but I guess it's safer to ask than assume.
