No, I think in context I was only commenting on the package
perl-Encode. Sorry, I see that is confusing in the issue comment
thread.

That issue does give some sense of the problem here, particularly this comment:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/30#note_1321684964

Still, Miro is correct, `UCD` is a valid Callaway abbreviation for a
license that was assumed to be "good" under the Callaway system. On
the other hand, any use of Callaway `UCD` is inherently problematic
because the Callaway classification doesn't really make any sense
under the principles underlying the Callaway system. I believe there
is another issue where I hypothesize that `UCD` was classified as
"good" because in possibly most cases where it seems to apply, the
license is bogus because the purportedly covered material is likely in
the public domain.
