<div>Hello OSI folks,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would it be possible to add the legacy "MIT-CMU" license
to the OSI approved licenses list so Python Pillow (Python
Imaging Library fork) project can update its license to
MIT-CMU, which we now consider "more correct" than HPND,
details here:</div>
