I learned today while asking for licensing clarification[0] on a package that Pyramid and some other Pylons project use the Repoze[1] license, which is not on Fedora's approved license list[2].
I became concerned, because many of these projects are already packaged for Fedora as noted in the clarification ticket. In fact, Bodhi uses Pyramid today, and it is incorrectly listed as a BSD license.
Can we add Repoze to Fedora's approved license list? If not, what should we do about the existing packages?

Is that not just the "modification variant" of the BSD license? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:BSD#Modification_Variant

According to vimdiff, it does seem to be identical text. Can we add the text "repoze" to the Fedora licensing page somewhere so this is clearer?
