The situation: a project is reusing a BSD style licensed code and is 
relicensing their changes with the same license.

The original license had the "AS IS" disclaimer that specifically 
mentioned the project's name.

Is it acceptable to rewrite to say ... IS PROVIDED BY THE foo AND bar 
PROJECTs "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS ...

Or should it just include two copies of the copyright and license which 
are identical other than the project names?

Or should it just keep the old project name in the "AS IS" disclaimer?
