It doesn't match the pattern for MIT: <https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html> I think it's closest to this HPND variant: <https://spdx.org/licenses/HPND-doc.html> But it doesn't match it, either. Main HPND <https://spdx.org/licenses/HPND.html> has the required phrase “copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation”. Looks like this needs an SPDX update: Either the HPND-doc pattern needs to be updated, or a new HPND variant has to be created.
