@richardfontana comments from Fedora's tracker:

I believe this is identical to the MIT license except for the addition of the penultimate anti-publicity paragraph. This is similar to language in at least one of the OpenLDAP licenses and at least one of the W3C licenses.

I wildly guessed name and id. Feel free to propose better one.

+1 for a new license. I would call it:

1. License Name: MIT No Advertising
2. Short identifier: MIT-no-advertising

No Publicity is in my opinion bit misleading

[jlovejoy]

+1 to add as well.

I think @OliverFendt suggestion on name is a good one - note, we have used "advertising" in other ids:
https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT-advertising.html and https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-Advertising-Acknowledgement.html

in this case and compared to those, I think "no-advertising" makes sense??

[swinslow]

+1 to add

Agreed with @OliverFendt and @jlovejoy on the ID and name, I think those work here.

For the XML markup, I would probably include the part above the "=====" line (and the line itself) in the markup, but mark them as <optional>.

[richardfontana]

I don't really like "no-advertising" because it seems to imply that advertising is prohibited, but then again the uses of 'advertising' in MIT-advertising does not refer to a mandatory requirement to advertise, so maybe this is okay.

Comment
The term click goes back to the initial license identification by ScanCode in https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/t/t1utils/t1utils_1.39-2/copyright. In the {metæffekt} universe we regard the license as a MIT License in a "Click" variant. The problem with the additional paragraph we solved by an additional marker "Written Permission Required (for promotion/endorsement) Marker".

[jlovejoy]

this is accepted, we just need to settle on id.

@karsten-klein raises a good point re: the preamble sentence stating, "The relevant
source files are clearly marked; they refer to this file using the phrase
"the Click LICENSE file". "

Based on that, I'd suggest MIT-Click
