I'll update the script I have that finds these bad licenses to do case-insensitive searches as well - that should knock off a few that're wrongly marked "bad". Oh, I guess I'll make it accept "MIT", "BSD", "Python", "zlib", and "libpng" as valid licenses, but ensure those packages reference /usr/share/licenses/ in their build function, since they have to install the modified version of the license.
Do you have a copy of your script? Does it work against package files? If so, we might as well just port your updates to the licensepkg rule of namcap and we can run that on entire repositories.
Yay redundant questions - yes, I do have a copy of my script. :) I sent it out to the ML quite a while back - I've attached an updated version to this email though, which handles the case-insensitive issue as well as the 'bsd'-style license issue. It doesn't work on packages - only on PKGBUILDs. -- Travis
