There seem to be many variations on the "2-clause BSDL" these days.
The current BSDL file seems to be the old style of the BSD 2 Clause "Simplified" license (BSD-2-Clause), so I think we should clarify this and update it to a more recent version.

The changes to BSDL file are 2 substitutions of "THE AUTHOR" with "THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS".

A license term is not easy to change.
Also note that Ruby consists from many code which use difference license.
Therefore I think changing license text to match with SPDX is not a good proposal.
