I'd probably conclude 'both' based on limited information. Also, I
think the separate license text is something that ought to match to
SPDX "MIT" but doesn't, so I think the best thing to do here is to
submit an issue to
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML proposing
a change to the XML file
(
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/main/src/MIT.xml) that
specifies what "MIT" means as an SPDX identifier. Jilayne can probably
provide more helpful guidance here.
Any advice here? The wording in the second half of the license has
several textual differences from MIT. How should I handle this?
Thanks,
Omair
