Hi Rob, Thanks for you email. To request a new license be added to the SPDX License List, you need to provide the info listed on this page (most of which you already have) http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/request-new-license and send it to the SPDX-Legal mailing list. If you are not a member there, you can join the legal mailing list here: http://spdx.org/participate/legal-team
Thanks!
