The correct license name is "Historical Permission Notice and
Disclaimer", thanks to Wikipedia [1]
This is the GNU entry:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#HPND
the approved text is here:
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:HPND
and Scintilla uses that text AFAIU
I've added HPND to our gnu/licenses.scm and sent a patch, bug number
#36295; give me a go/no go please :-) (I can push it if needed)
Happy Guix! Gio'.
