Hi Richard,
You should be looking at the new documentation at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/ for the list of approved licenses. The old wiki page does have a note at the top to the new link, but we should make it redirect automatically, so thanks for the reminder!
We do have a list of tools on this page that you may find helpful and always welcome updates to the page to help describe the tools, what they are good or bad at, etc. No tool is perfect, that's for sure! https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-audit-tools/
As for the SPDX identifier for whatever text you found, it's like MIT but to be sure, I'd probably use SPDX-license-diff to check.
Thanks,
Jilayne

So subject kind of says it all, but to follow up, when I google Fedora
known good licenses I get this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#SoftwareLicenses
Which uses the old license identifiers, so there's that. And
licensecheck is a PITA because I have to always add
"--shortname-scheme=spdx" and it still doesn't give it to us in the format
we want.
Sure I could make my own script or alias to do this, and I hate to be a
broken record but maybe people would adopt the new format faster if we gave
them the tools to make it easy.
I have about 5% of the time I used to be able to devote to packaging these
days.
Thanks,
Richard
