"Unknown" license in Löve's license text file

Post by pgimeno »

Just a note that in the license.txt file from the Löve distribution, it's mentioned that the license for the UTF8-CPP library is "Unknown, MIT/Expat-like", and this license is actually the Thrift MIT license:

On a note unrelated to the license.txt file, which does the right thing, the link also lists all licenses that can be called "MIT license", and why this term is very ambiguous and the specific variant should be explicitly named (Expat being the most common variant) to break the ambiguity.
