Sorry, I lost you: What is the issue does this bugreport try to solve?

You first presented a text that you personally prefer.

I believe Software::License is not about personal preference, so I 
pointed to the official text from the authors of that license.

You then point to other unofficial text (likely, but it is a wiki) from 
the authors of the license as well, and other texts found "in the wild".

I believe Software::License should present official licenses and their 
officially recommended license grant.  Also, I believe we should push 
changes upstream and *not* deviate further in the Debian fork of the 
Software::License - see bug#828218.
