Thanks for your feedback!
I've updated the license text in the MochiKit repository with your patch:
http://github.com/mochi/mochikit/commit/60ac9815cb6a4d63a90936777ea7dc836caf7e94
We'll use the updated license for the 1.5 release (whenever that'll
be), but there are no current plans for patching the 1.4.x release
further (unless critical bugs are discovered). Feel free to apply you
patch to the version packaged in Fedora.
Cheers,
