Honestly, I don't know what the license name is (or should be) nor what a proper short identifier would be, given libtelnet upstream calls this "Public Domain" while @richardfontana referred to a derivative of Unlicense.

To elaborate a bit, as I think SPDX-legal knows, Fedora has been using an umbrella LicenseRef to represent all sorts of bespoke public domain dedications, but has also been using existing SPDX identifiers for "standardized" instruments that are, essentially, public domain dedications or approximations thereof, as in the case of the Unlicense. In this case, we have a project that has made some minor textual changes to one paragraph of Unlicense, so we are wondering whether SPDX would want to assign an identifier for it much as it has given an identifier for the Unlicense itself.
