Minor changes to the license.
Remove the phrase 'for any use' - implied by the conditions. Add 'All rights reserved.' after the (C) notice. Remove the name+URL in the text and lead off with a statement that Botan is distributed under the following terms: <blah> Combine the two all-CAPS sentences disclaiming warranty into a single paragraph. The main reasoning behind this is to make the actual license text totally equivalent to the FreeBSD/NetBSD licenses, which is an offical Open Source(tm) license as declared by the OSI.
