Permissive Technische Universitaet Berlin License [???]

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-leb/oneiric/+source/libgsm/+copyright


OSI-approved?

No.


Packages using this license:

gsm / libgsm

via inclusion of gsm code: ladspa, rplay, speex, some builds of vorbis


Date:

1.0: 15-Sep-1992
2.0: 05-Apr-2009


Explanation (non-normative):

I did not find any reference to these licenses in the tracking page.  I
have only seen this used in gsm; I do not know if the university has
released other open source projects.  (No further packages were found
searching for key, unique phrases in DuckDuckGo nor Google nor GitHub.)

Fedora seems to consider this "MIT", but other than some similarities in
2.0 to MIT/PetSC and MIT/HP, this license has nothing more than a
spiritual relation to MIT in my opinion.

If this should instead be considered a MIT variant, I would be willing
to resubmit as that.

Thanks for your consideration.


Best,
