- Statement
- The PuTTY licence page states that the executables and source are distributed under the MIT licence and that the licence is Open Source certified. OSI lists the MIT License with SPDX short identifier MIT. PuTTY's text reads "THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS" where the OSI text reads "THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS"; the SPDX template marks that phrase as replaceable text, so the PuTTY text matches SPDX identifier MIT.
