The Expat license is the MIT license. Debian identifies this differently from both Fedora and SPDX, hence the difference from licensecheck (which is from Debian). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License#License_terms This is why I don't recommend using *any* short identifiers in license auditing tools. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
