It's been amazing to discover how many MIT license variants, all 
"functionally
identical",do exist (at least according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT?rd=Licensing/MIT).

The one used in harfbuzz is not the one published on the OSI website, but it
identical to the "Modern variants" wording on the fedora link above.
So I guess it actually is an MITlicense...

It's never been madeofficial, but that's what we kind of agreed, and IMO the
best choice.
Alas, not all packaged are compliant in current BR, but that's another 
issue.
