Please take a look at Hydra and see how the license is organized there (it's the Apache license, but the same should apply to the MIT one as well). Namely,

Right now, all I see is a two line file with:

YEAR: 2015
COPYRIGHT HOLDER: Amy Li

Which is incomplete and inaccurate

Hi Stefano,

If I'm interpreting correctly from http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT, the LICENSE file should only have year and copyright holder for MIT license, then in the DESCRIPTION file there should be a field: License: MIT + file LICENSE

I looked up a few other packages with the MIT license, namely "reshape2", "curl", "webchem" and all seems to follow this format - not sure if there's a need to put preamble on each file.

We may have to change the copyright holder to "montilab" or you or have multiple authors, although I not come across other packages listing multiple copyright holders. Thoughts?
