My vote: this license is clearly open source, and it would make sense to 
have it listed with the note that it is an MIT variant.

At some stage, it might be good to go through the rest of the list of 
"MIT variants"; nice of Fedora to have collected them for us (although I 
don't agree that all of these are MIT variants, but some of them 
obviously are).  We might want to discuss how to represent these on the 
website.
