Since the Apache license is just a modified BSD license with 3 extra
clauses and the Subversion license is just a modified Apache license
that uses a phrase other than "Apache", I figured it would be less
confusing just to say BSD (even shorter than BSD-like) and be done with
it. :)

My point being, of course, that people who prefer to use a license
other than the viral GPL[1] will be very happy to have a diff library
sitting around ready for use.
