can confirm (sigh)
I made an issue, since I was already in the SPDX License List repo. See
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/2807
Orion - if you could add a link to or description of where you found
this, that would be great.
Thanks,
Jilayne

Ignoring the US government contract language as we do, I believe this

So if this was encountered in a Fedora or potential Fedora package, an
issue should be opened at fedora-license-data as well as
