While the archives aren't great, I did a lot of searching and
couldn't find anyplace that the OSI had approved the MIT-Zero
license. I'm not sure where SPDX got the information. Perhaps others
on the list might recall it being discussed or approved.<br>

through the license-review mailing list, I have found no mention
or record of this license. Additionally, there is no URL
corresponding to this license on <a href="https://opensource.org/" target="_blank">https://opensource.org/</a>, which
furthers my uncertainty. Could someone clarify the approval
status, if any, of MIT-0?
