<p>Hi Mark,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is the wrong list for submitting a license for approval,
that list is License-Review. But this license was already
submitted on License-Review for approval, so it's all set.</p>

This is a request to approve as a legacy license the "MIT No
Attribution" or "MIT-0" license as an OSI approved open source
license.<br>
<br>
<div>Simply, the MIT-0 license is the MIT license with the
attribution requirement removed. As the MIT license is
compliant with the Open Source Definition, the MIT-0 license is
as well.</div>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please also follow the links
about this license in that page.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The MIT-0 license is
extensively used by Amazon, for sample code, reference code,
workshop code, code in blog posts, code in documentation, and
sample code published to answer sites. The purpose of the
license is to avoid imposing the cost of maintaining
attribution on customers that want to "do the right thing"
w.r.t. open source license compliance. </span><br>

<div>We find it useful because any existing license or project
that claims compatibility with MIT is necessarily
also compatible with MIT-0. All I have to say to an open source
lawyer or wonk is "MIT with no attribution requirement" and
there is no more time wasted discussing it.<br>
