Hi, Thanks for the idea and the effort in making a patch of it. However, I believe that specification allows anyone to "invent" a new "ad-hoc" license short name for any license without a standardised name: """ First line: an abbreviated name for the license, or expression giving alternatives (see the Short name section for a list of standard abbreviations). If there are licenses present in the package without a standard short name, an *arbitrary short name may be assigned* for these licenses. These arbitrary names are only guaranteed to be unique within a single copyright file.
