Haven't found the following license in the database:
https://github.com/cloudflare/pngcrush/blob/deflate.gcc.amd64/cexcept.h
Seems to be me a permissive license.

@LeChasseur Thanks!
This is actually detected exactly as https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/rules/other-permissive_67.RULE but since you bring it up, now is the time to give it a name and promote it as a proper named license.

The original place is http://www.nicemice.net/cexcept/

@AyanSinhaMahapatra please create this new license and make the associated adjustments to the rules (see comments above). Note that we already have another license, punycode, from owner nicemice.
