New license request: bzip2-libbzip-2010 for bzip 1.0.4 #4883

Description

@armijnhemel

License Name

Not a new license, but a variant. The file where I found it:

https://github.com/mirror/busybox/blob/master/archival/libarchive/bz/blocksort.c

The latest ScanCode Toolkit says:

        {
          "license_expression": "bzip2-libbzip-2010",
          "license_expression_spdx": "bzip2-1.0.6",
          "from_file": "busybox-1.35.0/archival/libarchive/bz/blocksort.c",
          "start_line": 13,
          "end_line": 23,
          "matcher": "3-seq",
          "score": 85.48,
          "matched_length": 53,
          "match_coverage": 85.48,
          "rule_relevance": 100,
          "rule_identifier": "bzip2-libbzip-2010_19.RULE",
          "rule_url": "https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/tree/develop/src/licensedcode/data/rules/bzip2-libbzip-2010_19.RULE"
        },

That particular rule says:

This file is part of bzip2/libbzip2, a program and library for
lossless, block-sorting data compression.

The date and version number are different. ScanCode Toolkit uses a partial match for this, which is quite a bit slower than a full match. For other versions (1.0.6, 1.0.7, 1.0.8) there are separate rules, so it makes sense to add this one as well.
