Comments
The w3m License has a different intro:

Right.

Looking into this, what caught my attention is that the author mentioned in SPDX is Akinori Ito, who is likely the same person as the author of the pty Ruby library.

What is also worth of noting is that in the original commit, there is also Japanese version of the license.

Also, if this is deemed that same license as w3m, then the w3m would not be probably the best identifier.

Maybe we can ask the author about the license history and evolution?
