🔒 PyPI Licenses Classifier for License Variants | Python | Page 1

Hello! Which classifier would I use for a variant of a supported license? As an example, the MIT-testregex license, which is based on the MIT license. Which of the following (or something else entirely) would I use?

(a)

License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License

(b)

License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License
(AND)
License :: Other/Proprietary License

(c)

License :: Other/Proprietary License

Note that this is a general question, so saying "just use a different license" will be of no use to me.

there's no way to express this via the license classifiers, but you also have the License field in the metadata which allows for arbitrary content

So I should simply use Other/Proprietary?

if you feel that the MIT classifier is too misleading

#

in what manner does the classifier matter to you?
