It's not familiar to me.  Grepping for 'monetary', it seems that it is
similar to trn-license, but not the same.  So we need to add a new one.

(You didn't imply that you thought it was, but this is clearly not open
source.)

True, but we don't describe licenses, just match text, so that
characterization (while seeming accurate to me) doesn't bear on naming
or treatment.
