You're right.

There doesn't seem to be much consistency in the various BSD licenses
in meta/files/common-licenses. We currently have:

  BSD : THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE REGENTS AND CONTRIBUTORS ``AS IS'' ...

  BSD-0-Clause : THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" ...

  BSD-1-Clause : THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY Berkeley Software
Design, Inc. "AS IS" ...

  BSD-2-Clause : THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE FREEBSD PROJECT ``AS IS`` ...

  BSD-3-Clause : THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" ...

  BSD-4-Clause : THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY <COPYRIGHT HOLDER> ``AS IS`` ...

Every one slightly different!
