The current version on master (https://github.com/sebcrozet/instant/blob/bdd142135d78387a02dfeaa8d6829a057892aca6/LICENSE) appears to diverge in the wording from the online texts I have found of that license.

https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause

https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.html

In both of the above online sources, in the part where it says:

3. Neither the name of the copyright holder

The version in this repository says "name of the author" instead of "name of the copyright holder".

I caught that divergence through a tool I am developing for the legal team at my company. Please bear in mind that I don't have licensing knowledge nor can say if the texts are equivalent, just thought I would warn here about this in case it's not intentional.

Thanks for your time.
