I wanted to test some shell compatibility features recently, and I came
across the need to test ksh88 like shell.  I noticed there's heilroom-sh

easily test in the future.  Though there are two license files I'm afraid
are not really mentioned neither in good/bad list of licenses (attached)
so far.

I believe they are good (BSD and CDDL modification), but I'd appreciate an
explicit check, and perhaps fixing the Fedora licensing [3] wiki page.

Yes, one is a variant of the 4-clause BSD license (if Jilayne Lovejoy
is reading this, note that this would apparently not match SPDX
BSD-4-Clause as currently delineated) and the other is CDDL 1.0 with
an expected choice of law addendum.

This variant of the 4-clause BSD license is on the SPDX License List but with an additional lead-in section: see: https://spdx.org/licenses/Caldera.html

Does anyone have any idea as to how prevalent this license is? I'm wondering why this variant removes the first paragraph. (Perhaps SPDX should mark that first paragraph as optional.)

The is, indeed, CDDL-1.0

Cheers,
Jilayne
