The jumpgate license isn't quite the same as the BSD license; it lacks the
following clause:

    * Neither the name of the <ORGANIZATION> nor the names of its
    * contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
    * this software without specific prior written permission.

"as-is" and "BSD" are close enough that the end result is essentially the same.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm reluctant to call it BSD when it's really a subset of BSD.
