In the R DESCRIPTION files "MIT + license file" are generally used to clarify the authorship. The license file merely contains the copyright, while the license that applies is the Expat/MIT license.

This is a common idiom. It does not mean that the package is covered under the Expat/MIT license and "all right reserved" by the copyright holder.

The package could be moved to Guix proper.

Done. This idiom is very confusing though.
