Can you post the FPL text? I am wondering whether it was literally the same license.

  It’s the same text, which is just the ISC license sans the “ provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies” clause. The only differences: - I didn’t use the “Copyright Boaty McBoatface 2022” line, but that’s not a big enough change to justify having two licenses. - The license was approved as the FPL-1.0.0, which I believe was the first OSI-approved license that user semantic versioning. This isn’t necessary, but I was mildly excited about it. - The 0BSD doesn’t actually inherit from any other BSD license, the “BSD” bit is more of a spiritual nod that I found more confusing than helpful.
