Hello,
I'm currently reviewing a package which contains a couple of files with an explicit license notice matching the NTP license: https://opensource.org/licenses/NTP
A snippet from licensecheck: xcb-imdkit/src/xlibi18n/XlcPubI.h: NTP License (legal disclaimer) xcb-imdkit/src/xlibi18n/XlcPublic.h: NTP License (legal disclaimer) xcb-imdkit/src/xlibi18n/lcCT.c: NTP License (legal disclaimer) xcb-imdkit/src/xlibi18n/lcCharSet.c: NTP License (legal disclaimer) xcb-imdkit/src/xlibi18n/lcUTF8.c: NTP License (legal disclaimer)
The problem is that the NTP license is not listed in the licensing guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Software_License_...
How should I proceed?
Best, Andy

I think Fedora calls this license “MIT”:

That's correct. The ntp package's SPEC file calls the license MIT. I'll explicitly add NTP to the license list for clarity, but you can proceed with the review using "MIT" as the name.
