@dstansby rightfully pointed out that the original spec template contained a license note for derivative work. I would tend to say that the spec, at this point, doesn't have to do much with the original text anymore, so maybe adding the note would suffice?
Otherwise, I am afraid that adding a BSD3 license here may be a bit of difficult/problematic thing to do, atm 😬
Edit: Did some more searching yesterday and I think doing it like this should be ok. Two of the original license statements don't apply:
So we would only need to retain the copyright notice, which only applies to the parts of the template that are left over (which aren't many).
