Hi Mattia,
the R packages distributed on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) are
uploaded there by their own authors, therefore I think that even if the MIT
license text is actually missing from the packages, there is no problem that
CRAN distributes them.
Also, please note that R ships a copy of the MIT license; in Debian it is in
`/usr/share/R/share/licenses/MIT`. So R users have all the information they
need.
Have a nice day,
Charles
