#561: Use the recommended name for the MIT license: X11. ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: marcot | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal specification | Version: HEAD Severity: minor | Resolution: Keywords: License | Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): The important point is what is the commonly recognised name. As far as I am aware, MIT is the more common and widely known name for this license template. According to Wikipedia it's just the FSF who think it should have the other name. The OSI use the name MIT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/561#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
