    There's no special benefit in uniformity for this, so I wouldn't
    strain the wording just for the sake of uniformity.

There is a benefit when one is trying to convince a commercial entity to use
software which has these copyright notices since their lawyers will often
want to look at everything very carefully and the fewer different wordings
there are, the easier that task will be.  Lawyers can get needlessly
suspicious when things look similar but slightly different.
