I don't think this is useful

What makes you think it's BSD?

These 2 lines are only explanations about the 2 copyright holders listed above. They shouldn't be modified

Actually, I though quite a time about this and at the end did a comparison of the permissions specifically provided by this statement: use, copy and modify (yet there is no explicit statement of sublicensing and combining with other works). That -- in my understanding -- is the legal equivalent to the BSD-2 clause. However, the statement is quite different than the usual BSD 2 Clauses. but I am not aware of any license that is phrased in exactly this statement.

What is your opinion? Otherwise, I would also be fine with omitting it from the change for now and I could contact the authors if they agree and then do this change atomically later.

Better handling of explenatory texts

Searching in google, this looks like a standard license text for dtd files.

Reverting DTD license change

Reverted license change for the XSD file. Right now I do not see any equivalent in the SPDX registry.
