Hey, all- I was looking upstream at a new-to-me license (PIL license used in Pillow <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/master/LICENSE>). It is MIT-ish, but ... to my mind, definitely not MIT. Line them up side-by-side and you'll see reasonably large differences. (GitHub's `licensee` reports the two licenses as a ~56% match, which is an imperfect measure but indicative)
I was considering filing it as a new-ish license at SPDX, so I checked "is this packaged in Fedora", and I see that the Fedora python-pillow spec <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pillow/blob/master/f/python-pillow.spec> simply labels this MIT. So my question: what should this be labeled as in Fedora? If the answer is MIT, is there any guidance (formal or informal) on when MIT considers an MIT-ish license close enough? Thanks- Luis
