I just tried to be as specific and unambiguous as possible. It didn't
seem like the wording was that rigid when there was a large collection
of wording variants all called "MIT".

A shellscript is a program, so as the author I can change it to say
"program" if that helps:

That's good because I strongly dislike entire paragraphs of shouting
uppercase letters.

In general I think it would help if SPDX were more flexible about the
word choice in such cases, so a license could be applied to a program,
a library, a document, a single file or a collection of software.

For this particular case it's not needed if my merge request is
accepted.
