Thanks very much for your diligence here. I looked into it, and Debian calls this the "Perforce" license. The "copyright" file for Debian's 'boost' package includes the following lines: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- License: Perforce License is hereby granted to use this software and distribute it freely, as long as this copyright notice is retained and modifications are clearly marked. . ALL WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- <https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/b/boost1.67/boost1.67_1.67.0-13+deb10u1_copyright> Maybe this should be added to (guix licenses) as 'perforce', or perhaps 'perforce-jam'?
