Thanks! Didn't know it matters.
It's a little thing, but the package info is available via the hex API so it just makes it a little easier for tools to detect your license. I'm actually writing a tool that checks dependency licenses, and uses these IDs to make sure all the dependencies I'm using have recognized licenses.
Hex.pm recommends this, and it helps tools identify exactly which BSD license this project is released under.
