zlib and libpng licenses clarification

I hada question regarding clarifying the zlib and libpng licenses versus what theOSI lists as the zlib/libpng license on their list. Perhaps Tom, Martin,or Jeff can shed some light on this?

Re: zlib and libpng licenses clarification

Fedora treats these two licenses as functionally identical, and calls them both "zlib". The third license looks to just be a templated version of the zlib license. ~tom == Fedora Project

Re: zlib and libpng licenses clarification

So, do you think we should only list the OSI template version, using their name, "zlib/libpng license" and not include the two package-specific licenses on our initial list? Jilayne

Re: zlib and libpng licenses clarification

For SPDX, I suppose it makes sense to take the templated zlib and call it "zlib", and call the libpng variant "libpng", even though I don't think Fedora will ever make that
