Description
Describe the bug
During briefcase new, the license selection looks like this:
-- Project License -----------------------------------------------------------
What license do you want to use for this project's code?
1) BSD license
2) MIT license
3) Apache Software License
4) GNU General Public License v2 (GPLv2)
5) GNU General Public License v2 or later (GPLv2+)
6) GNU General Public License v3 (GPLv3)
7) GNU General Public License v3 or later (GPLv3+)
8) Proprietary
9) Other
Project License [1]:
The term "BSD license" is ambiguous. When selected, briefcase will create a 3-clause BSD license.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
briefcase new - Enter the Formal Name
- Enter the App Name
- Enter the Bundle Identifier
- Enter the Project Name
- Enter the Author
- Enter the Author's Email
- Enter the Application URL
Expected behavior
I think BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License (following the SPDX License List) would be a better term.

Additional context
I'm not deeply familiar with software licensing. Maybe "BSD license" is generally understood by most users.
If you are interested, I could create a PR.
