For everyone's reference, this is the text of the license:
------

It was discussed on the Fedora Legal mailing list:
https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-legal/msg02842.html
I don't know the final outcome there (i.e. does Fedora offer
Tumbolia-license software now?) but it seems positive.
Also, Debian distributes the software:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/ghp-import
> Is it OK in Guix? If yes, what is good way to provide this licence?
I think it's fine. The author's intent to make the software available
under a permissive-style license seems clear to me.
Please change the license field of the package definition from 'gpl3+'
to 'non-copyleft'. That license can be annotated; there are lots of
examples in the maths module:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/maths.scm
And the source of 'non-copyleft':
