Steve Winslow #1365 Hi Mark, The MIT license template on the license list [1] has the language "(including the next paragraph)" as optional text, which is why that part shows up in blue italics on the list [2]. I think that's what you're referring to, but let me know if I'm missing something. Best, Steve [1] https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/a32a839b7385c9a797a26fa45c6f6234947b7abe/src/MIT.xml#L22 [2] https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Jan 14, 2021 at 3:19 PM Mark Atwood via lists.spdx.org <atwoodm=amazon.com@...> wrote: The "X.org Preferred License" documented at [ https://www.x.org/archive/current/doc/xorg-docs/License.html ] is the MIT license with the additional text in the middle "(including the next paragraph)". Our SPDX license matching tool is not locking onto it with 100%, but instead is showing it nearest edit distance to MIT. I've not yet dug in deeper, but, Is the X.org variant in the SPDX database? If not should we add it as an new license, or as matching rule variant to MIT? If its not in the database, I will start the legwork and paperwork to add it. ..m Mark Atwood <atwoodm@...> Principal, Open Source +1-206-604-2198 -- Steve Winslow Director of Strategic Programs The Linux Foundation swinslow@...
