[Openstack-devel] python-mockito_0.5.1-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi,

Here's the reply from the FTP masters. Please specify correctly the full
MIT license somewhere (best would be a LICENSE file). Note that if you
want to release Mockito under this license:
http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

then many people call it the "Expat" license, which removes any
ambiguity with the multiple MIT licenses.

Please let me know when this is fixed, so I can make another attempt at
uploading to Debian.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Correct; there are several licenses that MIT has used, and saying "the MIT
license" is not sufficiently unambiguous, despite the OSI determining a
definition of their opinion of what the term means.
