But e.g., here https://sourceware.org/cgit/binutils-gdb/tree/include/coff/symconst.h#n18 is slightly longer variant:

Third Eye makes no claims about the applicability of this
symbol table to a particular use.
@xsuchy - is the second variant (Third Eye) also found in Fedora?
[nevermind, looks like that answer is yes based on the links!]
I'm +1 to add each of these as separate historical licenses, probably with MIPS and Third-Eye as the identifiers.
discussed on 12/12 call - agree to add both with following ids:
MIPS with no markup
Note: This license is the same as ThirdEye, but does not have a disclaimer.
