[Fedora-legal-list] BSD vs. MIT license

Hello,

during a package review I have found another BSD/MIT license issue for
which I'd like to get some advice:

The package "ewl" from the enlightenment project contains a COPYING file
  [1] which looks much more similar to an MIT license then to a BSD license.

However, the spec file which is included in the upstream tarball
explicitly states BSD.
In various discussions on their mailing list "E-devel" the developers
also usually refer only to the BSD license (e.g. [2]).

Any help is appreciated!


Best regards,
Christian
