Description Ben Sagal 2010-04-11 09:05:11 UTC 
The X11 license is listed http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#X11License as gpl compatible but is not listed at all in profiles/license_groups

Reproducible: Always

That GNU page also says: "This license is sometimes called the MIT license, but that term is misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software." In spite of this, we list the MIT/X11/Expat license as "MIT" and of course it is in the @GPL-COMPATIBLE group.
