I would say without doubt that this is an example of a lax permissive
free software licence.
I'd like to package Ume-fonts[*]. Unfortunately, I cannot find
appropriate license name in good licenses list on the wiki. I thought it
is simple "as-is" but I cannot see such record - are my eyes just tired
or is it really missing?
‘As is’ is about liability, not rights, so it does not affect whether
the licence is free / libre (thus OK for Fedora) or not.
I am not familiar with Fedora packaging policy, but if we need to
procrusteanate every unique permissive licence to one of the ‘Good
licenses’ [0] for reference purpose, then ‘CopyrightOnly’ [1] seems to
fit best, but not ideally.
