Their included jq.spec says:

	License: BSD

but that is contradicted by the contents of COPYING, none of which matches BSD 
0-4 +/- variants but starts with basic MIT, and the rest states CC-BY-3.0, dtoa, 
and ICU, which SPDX have assigned as named.

                           ^^^^^^^ ?      ...    ^^^^^ what?/where?

Fedora has old stedolan v1.6, but even that included the IBM ICU decNumber 
package, not the alternative GCC sources which were under GPL.
