It isn't on the approved list, but looks a bit like a modified BSD license to my untrained eye. It is for a piece of software called Gold, that I would like to package for Fedora EPEL.
Could someone tell me if it would be okay, and if so what I should put in the spec file?
Thanks
Jess

Yeah, this is BSD. Use "License: BSD".
