On quick read, the COPYING.SGI looks very close to original-bsd, but not in text. (The US government restricted rights bit can be ignored; it's about defense contracting and not relevant to the rest of the world.) So sometimes I run wdiff from a license to all the licenses and see which is closest, and if it's close enough to be the same. That license seems obviously Free, and effectively equivalent to modified-bsd. The normal question is whether it has been approved by FSF or OSI, to keep us out of the business of judging licenses. I supppose SGI is defunct and asking them to get it approved or blessed is not practical though.
