The file mksh.ico is under a different license as stated in Appendix D
of https://www.mirbsd.org/TaC-mksh.txt

I haven't added it to the list of licenses for the following two reasons:

- the file mksh.ico is not installed in our built package
- I don't understand what license is described in Appendix D, and could
use some help.

Could someone clarify? Thanks.

Which of the mksh if I may ask? I have some MKSH's here
I was just too slow to upstream.
At the moment it's just Mirsh, oksh.
