Hi Tobie, There was a thread on license-review about MIT-0 in December, beginning here: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-December/004576.html It was never submitted for approval, but apparently it was inadvertently listed as OSI-approved on the SPDX license list, which has since been corrected. https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/957
