[Fedora-legal-list] MIT variant in perl-Data-UUID?

Hi,

I'm reviewing perl-Data-UUID [1], and the source is declared as being
BSD:

  http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/Data-UUID-1.219/

However, it also contains this file:

  http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/RJBS/Data-UUID-1.219/LICENSE

This looks to me like a variant of the old-style MIT (no advertising
without permission), the second one on this page :

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT

Am I correct?

If so, should the License tag for the package be "BSD and MIT" ?

Thanks,
