I take it that this is new text meant to replace the current
text that is in the committers guide at:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/pref-license.html

As to the text in this new version about the All rights reserved phrase
the wording "With the ratification of the Berne Convention in 2000,
it became obsolete" is more correctly stated as "With the ratification
of the Berne Convention in 2000, it became unnecessary".  The wording
"All rights reserved." are not obsolete and still do carry meaning in law.
