For the Emacsmirror I need to determine the license of all mirrored packages. When there is license information in the "main" library, then that is used. Otherwise my tools fall back to use licensee, which extracts the information from the LICENSE file and similar. Unfortunately in this case it fails.
I think that's because the first line is supposed to look like
Copyright (c) [year] [fullname]
But you are using
This software is released under the MIT license:
Please change that to help tools that try to extract the license. Thanks!

Additionally you wrap lines differently, but I think that shouldn't make a different. You might still want to copy https://github.com/benbalter/licensee/blob/master/vendor/choosealicense.com/_licenses/mit.txt#L34-L52 as a template though.
