I would say without doubt that this is an example of a lax permissive free software licence.
I'd like to package Ume-fonts[*]. Unfortunately, I cannot find appropriate license name in good licenses list on the wiki. I thought it is simple "as-is" but I cannot see such record - are my eyes just tired or is it really missing?
‘As is’ is about liability, not rights, so it does not affect whether the licence is free / libre (thus OK for Fedora) or not.
I am not familiar with Fedora packaging policy, but if we need to procrusteanate every unique permissive licence to one of the ‘Good licenses’ [0] for reference purpose, then ‘CopyrightOnly’ [1] seems to fit best, but not ideally.
