The current LICENSE definition looks mostly like either the "Previous BSD" license or MIT license:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#Previous_license
http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT

.. but none of:

  • 2-clause (Simplified, FreeBSD)
  • 3-clause (Revised, Modified, New) , or
  • 4-clause (Original)

as specified in the PyPi Trove classification in setup.py:

https://github.com/django-mptt/django-mptt/blob/master/setup.py#L36

Please clarify the LICENSE file with one of the above verbatim, and update the trove classification to suit.

Good spotting, I hadn't noticed this. Looks like this bug has actually been around right since the start (@15958bfb9c357efefe6bef39288a1ff7c821936b) and you're the first to have actually read the license enough to notice ;)

It's definitely a verbatim MIT license, I'll update the classifier to suit.
