Thanks very much for your diligence here.
I looked into it, and Debian calls this the "Perforce" license. The
"copyright" file for Debian's 'boost' package includes the following
lines:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
License: Perforce
License is hereby granted to use this software and distribute it
freely, as long as this copyright notice is retained and modifications
are clearly marked.
.
ALL WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
<https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/b/boost1.67/boost1.67_1.67.0-13+deb10u1_copyright>
Maybe this should be added to (guix licenses) as 'perforce', or perhaps
'perforce-jam'?
Thoughts?
