Thanks for keeping track of this!

While it's always good to be certain (even authors sometimes get
confused about their own intentions), it's not like we risk omitting a
licence or misrepresenting the author's intent in this case.

I'd say this is fine to push with the above licence list + a short
explanation + link to your issue report. We can always amend it later.

Kind regards,
